sometimes i am not there
i am, but i’m not there
i want every tongue twisting click
every romantic suggestion that my time here was no mistake
questions that make the walls of my lungs shift with the heart on my sleeve
do you ever feel this skeletal?
cling wrap limbs of jelly at most
cause i gaze blankly every time the people zig zag
and i can just see you through the peekaboo gaps that allow
what if i just melt right here
lay down and listen to the lines and specks of light waltzing
perhaps i’ll learn to dance
i want every tongue twisting click
every romantic suggestion that my time here was no mistake
questions that make the walls of my lungs shift with the heart on my sleeve
