My Brilliant Friend

My brilliant friend
Traces where I should end
And where I should begin

And he touches me
With all of the need
And the want that goes on between us

Nobody knows
But wherever we go
He assures me I'm worthy of all of it

Sometimes we lie together
And we cry together
And we scream what's the harm in it

My brilliant friend
And I always intended
To break up and take up again

I don't have words
To describe all the worlds
That we make in our cat kingdom

He stopped the calls
Till the night of the fall
Now I phone him whenever I want

My brilliant friend
And I always intended to

Memories of him
Breaking into the gym
Thought we'd stay in these crutches forever

The mornings upset him
He tries to forget them
I remember for us both

My brilliant friend
Asked me never to send
Him music if that's all I can give

My brilliant friend
Traces where I should end
And where
