Don't Think About Me - Laura Stevenson

Half moon eyes

Cup my head in your haunted halls

Up against every wall

Please don’t think about me

Half moon eyes

By the hair wish you’d walk me out

Cut the tether at the scalp

Please don’t think about me

And just now it seems

For a minute, I watch the scenery in detail just to say

That it didn’t matter whether we’re sleeping or awake

I lucid dream, but it’s mundane

¾ turn the water burns

Your face is blank but familiar

I know it’s you cuz I think of you

And I’m run through when I try not to

It’s all the same, «the kettle cools,»

That’s just th thing that we repeat whn we can’t sleep cuz we hope it’s true

But then there’s you

Then I think of you

And I’m run through so I beg of you

Please don’t think

Please don’t think

Please don’t, please don’t

Like I think

Like I think of you
