Habits I'm trying to kick, can't get over it

Donnie watched silently from the kitchen whilst the mere ghost of his brother mixed the batter slowly. Mikey's eyes were lax and unfocused when he turned to grab something from the table. Donnie watched the interaction, frown playing on his lips at the empty shell of his brother.

Lovers I hate to admit are the ghost of it

He locked eyes with Leatherhead, who was assisting him with the baking Mikey used to love so much. The mutant croc smiled sadly, nodding, before returning to his boyfriend.

I don't know why I try anymore

He left silently, hand pressed over his mouth to try and stop the sobbing.

It was selfish, he knew it but he longed to go back home, to be welcomed with a high five from Bradford and a hug from Saki.

I hate to be right, please, tell me I'm wrong

It was selfish to hope that Saki missed him just as badly as he missed Saki.
