packing, sorting, stitches healing,
worrying, stopping, stealing
eating, waiting, feeling
things take the time they take
songs and dreams and wedding plans
tongs and scenes and kicking cans
tongs in apps and going mad
things take the time they take
a year and three months of solitudes
first with and then without you
first with wine and then without soothing
things take the time they take
an excision is meant to cut out
pressure mounting, unexpected relapse
i waste my time on fear and doubt
things will break if they need to to break
