Dissolve - Jonathan Coulton

On the day she finally left me

She left one thing behind

Just a small box on the table

That she wanted me to find

There was something bad inside it

It was something that I should have left alone

Now everything is standing still

It was only my head that made it revolve

Everything was fine until

It was awful instead

Now watch me dissolve

It was mine now, something secret

Something precious and rare

And then it changed me, and I liked it

Now I wish it wasn’t there

Would you cancel my appointments

Pretty sure I won’t be coming in today

'cause

It’s too late to say I’m sorry

Anyway it’s not true

There’s a small box on the table

And I left it there for you

And I really hope you like it

If you need me I’ll be anywhere but here
