save my sorry ass

save my sorry ass
from coming home to you
to seeing your look of disappointment
as you bid me adieu

save my sorry ass
from my own damn self
a bookshelf without books
an endless empty shelf

save my sorry ass
from all the pain you cause
by leaving me alone
to deal with all these stupid laws

save my sorry ass
from the bullshit in my head
that stalks me in my shadow
and curls up in my bed

save my sorry ass
from coming after you
for judging my sorry ass
when you don't have a clue
