Fixing Him
he used to do drugs
he used to be sad
until I fixed him
i gave him my happiness
loved him more than myself
and kissed away his pain.
now, he tells me
that he gets drunk on
straight vodka
on friday afternoons
he doesn’t mention
his new girlfriend
even though I know about her.
I am far away
and I can’t fix him again
i wish i could
but maybe she can
she that is now closer
that now receives your kisses
can she fix you?
i hope she can but
I guess not
or you wouldn’t be
getting so drunk
so often
I can’t fix you again
i can’t fix anyone
but I miss you
and i still love you
more than myself
so just tell me
that you’re okay
Just tell me that
you’re
happy
