Almost Three Years

If I can take it for an hour,

Then I can make it a day.

You stood there like a crypt

With nothing left to say.

If I can take it for a day,

Then I can make it a week.

Seven times the pressure,

But bleeding is for the weak.

If I can take it for a week,

Then I can make it a month.

You can kill the lights,

But I won’t stop the hunt.

If I can take it for a month,

Then I can make it a year.

You did me dirty this time,

Go and save up some fear.

If I can take it for a year,

Then I can make it almost three.

Did you know all along?

How do you even sleep?
