Sometimes to you I let slip
What I can’t say to him
That’s why I dim at full brim
Start to swim in the shallows
And skim the surface
Swallow don’t spit
I say heartbreak like it’s hymn
Condone what brings
A broken chest to a teary chin
Twist innocence
To fit my blistered whim
And wrap bruised limbs
Limply like it’s a sin
To even allow myself
To feel the things
You make me feel
I can never apologise enough
I can never peel
The Velcro from the fluff
And for some reason
I’m more comfortable
With skidding my body
Along the rough scuff
I’ve always come
Back into the arms of
So then I say these things
I wouldn’t put up with to my own ears
And that’s why lonely and I
Have blown years
I’ve made another bad move
And another sad use
Of this sharp and clueless tongue
That proves it grooves
To a beaten drum
And untuned strum
Where I lose every sense and rhythm
But I love to watch you dance
Chance a glance
To ensure I’m feasting
It makes me want to cry
Until brain splitting headache
Because mistreating your sweetness
Only grows my rage
You only continue to twirl in my sight
As I sit quivering
And glazed.
