you drain me

I’d like to drain my brain
Tilt my head to the side and let it all pour out
The way I used to after a swim
It’s a refreshing thought
The thought of you
Spilling out onto the ground
Like milk from a carton
That I would not cry over

I’d celebrate

Take my brain out
Somewhere nice to eat
Fill it up with something special
Just as soon as I find out
Who or what that is
But I’m not too worried about it
You’d be gone
Lost really

I’d celebrate

Exfoliate you from my skin
Rub you off instead of in
Pale white to pink to red
A killer’s rainbow
Fresh new skin would glow
As I watch you swirl gurgle twirl
Down the drain
Away from me and my
Now empty brain

I’d celebrate

Change the sheets on my bed
Get rid of the pillowcase on which you
Rested your sleepy head
Divorce my well worn comforter
And dismiss the smell of you
That lingers in the air
Like it has the right to
Be there instead of where you are
Where are you?

I...I'd...
