My Brilliant Friend

My brilliant friend
Traces where I should end
And where I should begin
And he touches me
With all of the need
And the want that goes on between us
Nobody knows
But wherever we go
He assures me I’m worthy of all of it
Sometimes we lie together
And we cry together
And we scream what’s the harm in it
My brilliant friend
And I always intended
To break up and take up again
I don’t have words
To describe all the worlds
That we make in our Cat Kingdom

Thought we’d stay in these crutches forever
The mornings upset him
He tries to forget them

My brilliant friend
Asked me never to send
Him music if that’s all I can give
My brilliant friend
Traces where I should end
And where
