How do you beat
the feeling of being defeated?

I've got taxi cabs where my feet once were
and left my cash on 39th in my purse

even if I had the money
I still have riptides in my chest
I know how to swim
but can't catch my breath

*I feel alone
I feel defeated
draft
find my face
in the concave of your chest,
i'd share your breathing
if you'd share my rest.

— The End —
