i woke up

in the middle of the night

i called out

i called your name

patiently, patiently

i called out

why do i dream so often

of his body when

his body will decay

his flesh will be fluorescent grey

his flesh will be fluorescent grey

patiently, patiently

you were my god

you were my god

in high school

he will know

patiently, patiently
