Counting
Counting backwards from 100
Backwards from the ditch on the side of the road
Covered in ivy and mud
Mud
Mud covers my eyes
Covering the scars of when it hurt to blink
Counting how long you close your eyes for
Counting
Counting the times you look at me
Do you look at me when I'm turned around?
I'm turning from others, not you
Turning
Turning towards the middle of the road
The road made with asphalt and lies
I cant see you any more
See
See me?
I'm still here
I've just temporarily evacuated my body.
My body
My body is still here
It's a little beat up but you can still pretend
Pretend I'm okay
Pretend we're okay
Its okay, you can pretend a little longer.
99, 98, 97, 96, 95......
