terrible warmth lyrics
by June Henry
I've realised I don't think of you
In terms of the goodness I miss
I just think about what I'd give up
The limbs that I'd sever to be with you again
And I don't think that it's a fair trade-off
While I'm lobbing off fingers and toes
And you're sitting in some sorta stasis
Not really caring if I stay or go
And I miss you more than I miss drinking
That same kinda terrible warmth
The kind that always left me feeling so used up
And sick by the morning
And I miss you the way I miss bleeding
And burning, and feeling like dirt
I miss you like staying up all goddamn night
Just shaking, inhaling that shirt
I miss you like the death of a dear friend
That sent me scrambling back to you
Cause in the face of certain uncertainty
You providе me familiar doom
