“See how the resemble one another”

Blood Bank ep, Tr 1.

She was easier to love at a safe distance.
You went as far as you could get.
Tokyo Japan.
and I was left behind.
I sat in your room.
the smell of your cologne still thick on the walls.
I fingered your record collection
remnants of what you left behind
spun out in big headphones.
chasing your shadow across the walls.
Did you know what you were escaping
and leaving for me to care for?

No one expected you to come home for the funeral.

I was the only one willing to speak the truth.
and I suffered for it.
until it set me free.
