Illustrated by Kelly Doherty (She/Her)
Give me something to leave behind
A sour candy kiss in the theater
Worse things have made me lose my mind.
You hesitate to cross the line
I let you drop me at the curb
Give me something to leave behind.
You show me yours, I show you mine
Touching me under my sweater
Worse things have made me lose my mind.
I lean in and you ask the time
You like the film much better
Give me something to leave behind.
I send words for you to refine
You think that they sound strange together
Worse things have made me lose my mind.
I want to know where to rewind
And turn into a thing that tethers
Give me something to leave behind
Worse things have made me lose my mind.
