I Die With You, Donnie

It's this place where I live, this place where I work. I cook the meals, I screen the calls, I take out the trash. I'm the first one up in the morning, and I'm the last one to go to bed.

           I fight monsters with blades of blue
           ...and then we rewind and do it all over again.


I'm under. I sink. I open my eyes slowly so that I can look for the keys in the corners. Dripping wet, the wires run down my back, over my knees, and around my curling toes.

And you know that I'm there.

           But now I know when,
           ...and now I know where.

I hold you in my arms until you're asleep. I hide the things that you've hidden from me.

                   And then we rewind, and do it all over again.
