Speak to me
Say something
Let me breathe

But you stay
All quiet
"Unaware"

Never there
When asked for
Elusive

Little boy
Little girl
Great big world

It eats us
Spits us out
We are weak

But we look
As if we
Might be strong

Speak to me
Say something
Let me breathe

I want to tell you
How much you matter
And how you are loved
But you wouldn't believe me
And I would be
Sad

In school
The most dreaded command:
"In your own words"

A damning direction
So filled
With prepubescent
Insecurity

They could mark you
Wrong
For your own
Words

They could make you
Feel
That you were altogether
Wrong

They pretended
That they wanted you
To express yourself
In your own words

But they
Only wanted
To mark
You wrong

I
Just
Want
This
Story
To
End.

Let's bail on the film during intermission <3

The floor is above the ceiling
In a two-story house

The ones we thought looked so cool
When we walked through the models

The desert landscape
In the background

Everything was dead
And we hated it

But the two-story houses
They were cool

You made noise on the floor
And it sounded like the ceiling

Reminded us
Of Grammy's basement

The adults
Made the ceiling thud

As we kids
Played games downstairs

The floor
Is above the ceiling

In a
Two-story house

I find myself
Running fingertips
Over the places on my neck
That you've tasted

Dreaming up those times
As solid as I can make them
To feel the rush again
Of your weight against me

Do you remember
How I taste?
Do you lie awake at night
Sweating out the details?

Does your heart still pound
Heavy and strong in your chest
For that love
You still don't comprehend?

I'll tease myself
The way you do
Only touching
For fleeting seconds

I'll think of you
And find release
Faster than you'd think
And it's like a drug

When I
Think about you
I touch
Myself

It's over now,
And I don't wanna talk about it
