13| I want to say I take it all back
14| I want
15| I want to take it back I want it none of it
16| to be ever have happened not
17| when I saw you step over the rope
18| when we went to New York for a week
19| but stayed upstate when you punched me
20| hard in the solar plexus in Prague
21| when I looked in your face and [saw myself][]
22| looking back smiling when we went on another trip
23| and another all the trips I want to have
24| stayed home I want to have seen the clouds
25| drifting past [my car window][] to have listened
26| to that sound the bridge makes driving over it
27| without thinking of you always it was you
28
29| I want
30
31| I [want to be fresh][] I want to roll out of bed
32| as though it were my [first morning in a new state][]
33| I want nothing more than absolution of sins
34| [a negation but there is no way to subtract here][]
35| I cannot remove this growth that appeared
36| seemingly overnight I cannot [cut you away from myself][]
37| I cannot forget what has already and will always have been
38| I cannot get out of a [new bed][] ever
39| New York will always be as it was when I saw it first
40| with you my breathing will always be labored outside
41| of the cafe I will always see you when [I look in a mirror][]
42| of someone's face the reflection of missed thoughts missed
43| [words will cease to give meaning][] the center will come out
44| of me I will make a new center yes I will drag what is
45| your center around with me and [repeat and repeat][] again
46| I cannot want cannot want want not
