&Jealousy Residue

It compounded for so long -
grief settling down on me.
Come in close,
don't you see it so clear?
Come in closer.
Don't you feel it's, like, already here?

It feeds
and grows.
It lives in you.

Just when it goes away,
I can't seem to separate from the residue.

Shuffling back forth -
grace me with your eyes.
I must have you, breathe you in again.
I will have you.
(It's)doubtful I can keep up the pretense.

It breathes
and grows.
It lives in you.

Just when it goes away,
I can't seem to separate
(I can't seem to separate)
from the residue.

I'm cooling off.
Or is it calming down?
Probably coming down -
really down and out.
Cooling off
Calming down
Coming down
Down and out
