I wrote this for your voice mail
I don't have much time, maximum 4 minutes
If it takes longer, please call me back so I can continue to tell you of everything I've forgotten
I get sentimental when morning or evening breaks
Someone's stolen my heart, replaced it with a dummy, a time bomb ticking hysterically
This isn't a love poem, I know how you feel about that.
Did you know...
My favourite colours are both green and red
Half of my poems are about what it's like to be dead
Or various ways of dying, I didn't even have a car crash
Did you know I broke my arm twice, and hate penicillin
Come fetch your knife, it's getting late
It's stuck between your ribs
Come fetch your knife, night is coming
Still stuck where you left it
Come, come
Come, come
Come, come
Come, come
Did you know...
My aunt dropped everything and burned herself to death
I OCD about chairs and hate fights
I love the sound of gulls and get goose-bumps
From all the tower blocks, if I'm there for more than one minute I need to get out
Come fetch your knife, it's getting late
It's stuck between your ribs
Come fetch your knife, night is coming
Still stuck where you left it
Come, come
Come, come
Come, come
Come, come
Come fetch your knife, it's getting late
It's stuck between your ribs
Come fetch your knife, night is coming
Still stuck where you left it
Come fetch your knife, it's getting late
It's stuck between your ribs
Come fetch your knife, night is coming
Still stuck where you left it
Take your knife, come, come, come
Give me life back, come, come, come
