I break up with you every night 

cheat with every image in mind 

 

I see you again; nothing’s happened 

freedom of this prison inspires 

 

door of the jail is open 

I come back; lock myself in 

 

just in time for breakfast 

and news about your kids 

 

you go somewhere else in mind 

I’ve never been there 

 

from what you describe I wouldn’t survive 

I’m glad we’re here instead  

 

sparks between us maintain 

like firefighters after rains

 

burning’s there with slow repair 

we’re on top of the maintenance
