"maybe i am a masochist for falling in love with you," she said one night while her back pressed to mine. she didn't like to see my face while i slept; it reminded her of her grandmother in her coffin, something that i wasn't sure if it was a compliment or not.
"why," i asked into the pillow next to my face.
"because i love you, but you make me hurt. my heart aches when i see you. i think it knows you by now. it knows your name, definitely. it hurts the inside of my chest and i feel ill half the time. i get headaches when you leave, and when you return my heart is back to aching."
"how does that make you a masochist?"
"because i love how it feels."
"how does it feel?"
she was silent for a while, then, thinking of an answer or possibly ignoring me or possibly thinking about trains. she was funny like that.
"alive."
she says you're a masochist for falling for me,
so roll up your sleeves.
and i think that i like her, cause she tells me things i don't want to hear,
medicinal tongue in my ear
