American I am rather grumpy and sometimes profound.
The truth is seeping out of the walls, like a sponge at capacity. Do I squeeze them, or let them be?

Capacity
I'm gonna feel broken when I have you, I keep thinking. You're gonna break my spirit, crush it in your chubby hands. I won't ever love you because I can hardly love anything. I don't think that just because you grew in me I will love you more. I'm gonna be bad for you. You won't have any fun because I will mold you after me. And then I'll hate you. Because I hate me.

To My Baby I'll Probably Never Have
You. My creature of the night, you frighten me. You. Dark and sultry, you ****** my curiosities. You. They all say they know you, they only know your name. But they don't even know that. No one does. So we'll just call you Batman.

Prince of the Night
Let me know you like I know my weaknesses, thoroughly and totally picking apart every minute detail. Be like my insecurities, omnipresent and always waiting to take me at the end of the day. Be as large as my thighs, my *** my belly, enveloping who I really am in favor of comfort. Be my hope. Take me away from all I hate about myself. It is too big a task, maybe. But I've charged you with it all the same.

This Room
I pity the trees at the mercy of an unsettled sky. Upwards they grow to comfort her, catching her tears readily, like a tissue. She will ignore their kindness and rain again, but trees live for the moments that she runs dry to allow a fleeting glimpse of the sun.

I only get three billion beats. I think I'll die young; You make my heart race.

Three Billion Beats
In keeping with tradition, stranger, we will walk past one another and not say a word. I’ll glance nervously at converse on the weedy walk; you’ll distract yourself a nearby bird. I’ll never know how you’ll cry alone between linens tonight because you realized you feel nothing. You’ll never know how I pacify myself with myths and lies just to keep my composition. We’ll both be lonely and never know why. We both will always ache for something we can’t name.

In Keeping With Tradition
Two rams are we, you and me. My hooves were fresh, horns just new. I sat on your hill, you taught me everything, your disciple, your Rip Van Winkle. Your mouth was wide but your legs were thin. You said “I’ll leap across gorges”. Dad, I believed you, So sound asleep. I watched, as you fell into all the holes, horns chipped, denting. Hoofs scratched, bending. Tried, you did, to bound over me, you broke my back; I even ducked. Still asleep, barely. What sort of ram are you? Gorges don’t come small enough for a mouth like that. Found my own hill then, did I. My broken back is healing now. I am my own disciple now. I haven't tried to leap over a gorge yet, I'm training for the day. Wide awake.
