|
Shaking my teeth loose on your table |
|
The dullest white squares |
|
I'll never be |
|
Now that you've picked each one apart you can't look at me |
|
I'll probably lose you now |
|
But at least the ones |
|
I have still sparkle |
|
Putting on your makeup everyday before he wakes up |
|
So he could stomach your face now easier than he could without |
|
Yeah this is love |
|
This is all that you could want |
|
Open equals heavier |
|
Hold your hand out palm side up |
|
Open, empty, light enough |
|
Minutes all turn to months |
|
This is one thing we have all learned |
|
Equations always make up a sum |
|
But it doesn't add up |
|
Signing up for that second semester |
|
Because you won't marry me without the degree |
|
Once I fix things up right you wont be so embarrassed of me |
|
But I'll never make it now |
|
But at least looking in the mirror wont feel like lying |
|
Posing for your still visions |
|
Acedemic postcard prisons |
|
Raise your chin, love |
|
Purged a poem |
|
I swore was finished |
|
Heaping lines half chewed unconscious |
|
Settle on a plot, chalk another loss |
|
Stage set for |
|
Breathing and choking on swallowed conversations |
|
Clutching and crawling for constant validation |
|
Still nailed in the ruins of corporate co-dependence |
|
Still stuck on the thought that you're the one exception |
|
All the while the same |
|
I'm worried that the purpose is |
|
How I look, not how |
|
I livedLet's get dolled up and play pretend |
|
Cause nothing stays honest when |
|
Every thought is cursed with intent |
|
A pulse covered in skin and words covered in lips |
|
The taste of regret as it leaves your stomach |
|
Coating your tongue with every noun |
|
Watery eyes the only thing that makes sense now |
|
Spitting your insides out |
|
Start over |
|
Start over |
|
Start over |
|
Start over |
|
Start over |
