"Pat Answers Gives She None"

Every "monthiversary" it's the same
I feel so distant from you.

Is it me?

You turn your back and hug the
Teddy Bear I gave you
When I wanted hugs from you.

Is it all a game
Do you laugh at me as you plot
the next move.

I wanted your love
But it's all turning to shit.

I want it to end but I'm afraid
to ask you.

You'll haunt me
I feel you'll drain me
You'll kill me.

I don't know wht else to give you.
And you never answer one
question which matters.
1992
