Of An Architect's Assistant

It's an architect's assistant speaks, and I'm picking at my wrist Says he's oh so very fond of me, but fond is all he is But we woke beneath the window this morning Coiled round like this Skin rippling in the waking, my rib all hooked on his For a while It was the gin was in the ashes, it was the thinning of the breeze It was the pounding against adjacent walls The scratched out Morrisseys And they were thumping Through The Wire Now I'm thumping to my knees It's every wire in me, scorched and screeching, thumping out of me It's an architect's assistant's call at twenty-five to three And I've nothing but the absence of whatever blinded me And was I with him when I took it? For I know that's what it takes Anyway, he really wants me, and surely someone's still awake? Somewhere And I walk atop the water There's a riot in my step And there's enough below to end me Should my right foot break the wet But I believed when I was younger And I think that I believe it yet There's f*ck all that's worth wanting If it's something you know you can probably get He's gonna find himself a straight man that's in love with someone else They'll rent a flat in Marylebone but he'll live there by himself And when he comes to hate that straight man, we'll get someplace of our own And he'll haunt me when he wants me But I will never be his home Not really It's an architect's assistant's breath, all puckered in his sleep It's a corner of a canvas, for that's all he wished to keep And I'm reaching all about me, for I'm shaking in his sheets Half swallowed in the half light Half choking in the heat He only wants you for your habit He only wants you if you've scored Checks all around the cubicles, whispers at each door And I shrug at what's reflected in what's left of what I've got Keep pinching like my nose is bleeding even though it's not Not really I love you Ah for f*ck sake wind your neck in Fucking love you F*ck is wrong with you?
