It's so bizarre, I have fallen in love
with my neighbor who lives downstairs.
A tiny girl, cross-eyed, deaf and mute,
but I speak some sign, and I love her
She's pale and she's sickly, drinks all the time,
swallows any drug she comes across.
She doesn't tell me what is wrong,
but I hug her in her bed to keep her warm
She doesn't shiver so much anymore,
she forgets that she needs the drug.
You are my drug, she says, You are my new drug,
and she kisses me under the blankets
I love her so much, my silly cross eyed girlfriend,
I can't believe how lucky I am.
If one day she'll go away, leave me forever,
I'll always be happy, for knowing her
