parting to depart..

You write me off “go save yourself”
So I throw myself to the sharks
And my heart is rejoicing as my flesh is ripping
This is what I’ve wanted…
An exciting exit that takes me to a dull street corner
(I’m revisiting my vows of going to sea with you)
I think it’s time to take myself in for tonight
“Look alive child” the old taxi driver says
With a voice that echoes the very sound of gravel
Pulling up to the curb, asking
“Where to?”
But I just answer with my own question,
“How much do I owe you?”
Betting on my body to settle the bill.
