Bellows Funny Things
You see that I'm naked, I see a pose
These thoughts once were bitter but now stone
Now that I've learned how to stand in my skin
It's time I admitted this funny thing
Do you look in the mirror and see a heart
That bleeds such transparent, tepid blood?
I want to hear you scream at me
Our chests have been pumping such funny things
The endings of car rides, the swell of your face before you cry
It's empty, unspoken
This speaking of coming untied
Follow my footsteps
I'll show you these pits of my mind
I wish you would follow
I wish that you were like I was
Blank as a white bedsheet
Thanks for your time, it helps me
When I couldn't think to be
Anything other than held underwater for you to discover after I have AGGGGHHHHHHHHHH
Say something beautiful and just disappear
Or hate how you're living like everyone else here
Psalm for a sinking ship
For the one little piece of it
That floats on the water when the rest has gone under
