stretched seams
tried to burn myself away
evading questions
about my birthday
or what i’ve been into lately
stitches listing to a dead end
always needing something
or someone to cut the thread

you wake up, you’re angry
the world, you resent it
your moms on ozempic
there’s no one to vent with

if you stare at it long enough

pin me down like a butterfly
dissect me and search but all you’ll find
behind my pendulum of chemical tides
is more grey skies and a fabergé smile
i will never be the porcelain me
you have in mind

oh, the bliss that must come with
the ignorance to your own actions
the knives you spit with vehemence  
whether involuntary or by choice
a deaf man could’ve felt
the disappointment in your voice

you’re busy playing wordle in a ******* bathroom
you’re talking to your future self inside a vacuum
you only know their songs from one of the guitar hero games
but you’ll wear the t-shirt all the same

on the other side of the move

you packed the broom
while i packed the *****

it wasn't the face i've known
but i'm pretty sure it had his bones
i walked a minefield of catching up
with the hollow cheeked husk
of a man i used to love
