Cheese

[Jerrybaldy]

I like the pain of cold rain
On my face
I deserve it
I like the cheese knife on my arm
And daytime tv
Sat on my tea stained seatee
I remember you being a part of me
I take a cold bath to feel the pain
And shrivel
So I feel thinner
I have the cheese knife
And no crackers
I tune the radio to
Fifty years ago
And I'm singing
This town ain't big enough for the
Both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave
You bring me my
Bath time cup of tea
(Increasing heartbeat)
You notice the cheese knife
I like the pain of cold rain
On my face
I deserve it.
I'm a martyr
I pull you in
Your skirt floats on the water
Like a jellyfish
In lavender and camomile
We kiss
Like when it wasn't a decision
I like the pain.
Scream.
