title: Autocento of the breakfast table
css: autocento
...
My head is full of fire, my tongue swollen, \
pregnant with all the things I should've said \
but didn't. Last night, we met each other \
in the dark, remember? You told me time was
pregnant with all things. I should've said \
something, to draw you out from your place \
in the dark. Remember, you told me time was \
only an illusion, and memory was only
something to draw. You, out from your place, \
I out from mine, that night, I believed in you. \
Only illusion and memory were one, lying \
down on your couch, through the night you drew
me out from mine. That night, I believed in you \
when you told me you loved me. I lay \
down on your couch. Through the night, you drew \
a picture of our future together.
When you told me you loved me, I lied \
in the dark. Remember, you told me time was \
a picture of our future together. \
My head is full of fire, my tongue swollen.
