Chapters

I'm not alone. I wish I was, 'cause then I'd know I was down because I couldn't find a friend around to love me like they do right now. They do right now. I'm Daisy from The shopping mall, I searched for joy, but I bought it all. It never helps the hunger pain and the thirst I'd have to drown. Thirst ever satiating. Something missing and I don't know how to fix it. Something different, and I don't know what it is. No, I don't know what it is at all. When autumn comes, it doesn't ask. It just walks in, but it leaves you last. You never know just when it starts until there's fog inside and glass around. Somehow, something missing, and I don't know how to fix it. Something— Something missing. I'm different, and I don't know what it is. No, I don't know what it is at all. I can't be sure that this state of mind is not of my own design. I wish there was an over-the-counter test for my loneliness. My loneliness. Friends, check. Money, check. Well-slim, check. Opposite sex, check. Guitar, check. Microphone, check. Messages waiting on me when I come home. But I'm something missing. And I don't know how to fix it. Something's different, and I don't know what it is. No, I don't know what it is at all. I don't know what it is.
