Original Prose by Johnny Allen

I'm Glad You Got Out (But I Miss You)

poor is what we shared
and missed meals too

you held on through
my frittering away
somnambulant days

I wish
I'd never made you feel
like shit

the time
you got sick
we couldn't pay for it

stray
feelings rest

like a quiet
undeath

Lyrics

I'm glad you got out
But I miss you
Poor is what we shared
But love too
I'm glad that you got out
But I miss you
My frittering away somnambulist days
You held on through
And I'm glad that you got out
But I miss you

I wish I'd never made you feel like shit
When you got sick
We couldn't pay for it
I wish I'd never made you feel like shit
Stray feelings rest like a quiet un-death

I'm glad you got out
But I miss you
Poor is what we shared
But love too
I'm glad that you got out
But I miss you
My frittering away somnambulist days
You held on through
And I'm glad that you got out
But I miss you

At 2 a.m. he's coming through your door
I lay in bed
I don't wanna get hurt no more
I wish I'd never made you feel like shit
Stray feelings rest like a quiet un-death

You got out
But I miss you
Poor is what we shared
But love too
I'm glad that you got out
But I miss you
My frittering away somnambulist days
You held on through
And I'm glad that you got out
But I miss you

And I'm glad that you got out
But I miss you
