Mallory Howard, "Strange"

 

How I can’t help myself

Hearts don’t listen

They do the talking

 

It’s saying

Fuck you

After all I’ve done for you

After all I’ve done to you

Get the hell away from me

 

It’s thinking

I didn’t do anything wrong

But I’m sorry

Don’t go

 

And now there are lilies

Dying into my open drawers
