Think:
You could be with me right now
in my hellhole home
with the roaches and the heat
and the filth
and clutter
and the noises in the night
from the bumps from above
along with creaky boards
and crashes outside.

You could be here
in this crowded room
full of snores
and kicks
and smells and scratches
and possible night terrors
that are usually caused by your absence
but still might not be assuaged by your presence.

You could come here now.
I could pay your way
if you could loan me the cash.
