How do you feel?
Agitated.
Do you often feel agitated?
No. Recently I just feel disjointed,
temperamental, inconsistent.
What makes you feel this way?
Life.
What stops it?
Him.
Tell me about him.
He helps me,
pulls me from the depths of my wallowing heart,
with just a word.
Which word?
Any word. It's not his words.
It's his voice.
His voice?
Yes.
No.
Tell me...
It's his presence.
When I'm with him he draws me away
and cocoons me,
protects me from the world.
When do you feel disjointed, temperamental?
When he's not there.
Where is he?
Gone.
My sanity goes with him.

If I came home someday and
Found you gone
I would spend the
Rest of my life
Wondering what went wrong
I would spend
