happy birthday, baby

happy birthday to you

i sit alone in my room

your cake is on the counter in the kitchen

i hum the song softly to myself

because you're too far away to hear it.

where are you? i think

you promised.

but then again, you always promise

and always disappoint.

i love you

but i'm dying.

slowly

painfully.

let me go

let me free

live your life and i'll live mine

be happy

on your birthday.

i'll eat your cake

gain more weight

you couldn't gain weight even if you tried.

your promises melt away like ice cream

yet i always crave more.

the taste is sweet but the feeling is bitter

when i regret

eating

and listening to you again.
