Tissues

I collect tissues 

The way some do books

I collect tissues 

To feel how pain looks

I collect tissues 

Every time I close the door

I collect tissues

I don’t even know what for

I collect tissues

Inside my jacket pockets

I collect tissues

To whip my eye sockets

I collect tissues

Every time I speak your name

I collect tissues

All the times I was to blame

I collect tissues

To use again the same night

I collect tissues

To avoid all the fights

I collect tissues

Thinking I've taken too many

I collect tissues

Even if they cost less than a penny
