Know Your Enemy

As useless as I am
I have little left to give
Take me out tonight
Don’t forget your jacket
Bring it with the rest of you
I’ll be the one on the left
Coughing up any at best
Waiting for your signal
A sound that’s like
Your broken eyes
Keeps following me
For hours on end
I try to pretend
This never happened
Like the blind
Feeling for lines;
Both hands caught up in your hair again
And I fell out
And you picked me up;
Broke in two…
Right where I left off
We’re just enough alike
To make it worth your while
That should keep you smiling
I’ll be the boy in the bed
Hoping you’ll just pass me up
Move on to the next one
A night that’s like your
Broken sigh keeps
Following me
For days on end
I stretch and bend
How did I let this happen?
