dash

at 4AM I awake and I'm sure of this

It doesn't matter
It matters more than anything
I should let it go
I should hold on for dear life

I'm meant to be a housewife
I'm meant to be a mother
I'm meant to be a mother you'd like to fuck
Thank God for gut instinct

Thank the devil for spontaneous lust
Just fuck it
Just fuck you
Just fuck me

I need to be alone
I need to make up my mind
I need to be told
I want you to go away

I want you to go to her
I want you to come here to my place
I need you to put me in my place
I need tea

I need coffee
I need to hear music
I need my earphones
I need to hear you growl in my ear

I need chocolate
I'm going to make tea
I'm going to make coffee
I'm going to make you moan

This is dumb
This is everything
This is nothing at all
I need my dressing gown

I need my slippers
I need ibuprofen
I need to home educate
I need to taste you

I need to touch up the paint there on that wall
I need you to touch me up there on that wall
We should wait for the paint to dry
It doesn't matter
