Inflamed Nerve Endings

Inflamed Nerve Endings
I will meet you underwater.
dressed in white. your eyes ablaze.
tonight you'll sleep out on my couch while
I lie in bed all night awake.
a room away while l listen
to you breathing in and out.
and I wait.

I started falling
so long ago, when I met you.
and oh, to hit rock bottom.
you will know it when I do.
I will meet you underwater.
I'll let you kill me every day.
but God I'm tired and I'm burning.
can I be there when you rain.
when you rain.
it hurts so bad.
it hurts so bad.
can you make this go away?
