I'm writing letters on my body
All the things that I can't say
So when you find my body
You can finally get my way

Those words will be all the twilight has left
As the sun and the moon kiss the edge

I'm writing letters on my body
To tell and untold story
So when you see all those A's and O's
Please think of me when it snows

Those words will be all the ground has left
As the dirt covers up the message

I'm writing letters on my body
To draw you a map to rescue someone else

I DON'T GET IT
EVERYONE SITS IN THEIR OWN SILENCE
DAYDREAMING ABOUT A DIFFERENT DAY
WHEN THE HOUSE IS SLOWLY BURNING
EVERYTHING IS BECOMING FLAMES
NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU TRY TO
BUY MY AFFECTION
NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU
APOLOGIZE
IT WON'T MATTER WHEN THERE’S NOTHING LEFT
BUT A BURNT DOORWAY AND A DEAD MARRIAGE
THE END TO A LONG BOOK FOR THEM
THE END TO THE BIGGEST CHAPTER IN MINE
HOW DO THEY EXPECT ME TO STAY STILL
WAIT PATIENTLY FOR EVERYTHING TO
DISINTEGRATE AND TURN INTO NOTHING
WITH A ******* SMILE LIKE ITS ALL A LIE
A JOKE WITH NO PUNCHLINE
I REFUSE TO BE THE RAG DOLL
IN A FIGHT BETWEEN MY OLD IDOLS
THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS PICKING SIDES
MAMA THROW OUT THE GUN
YOU'RE NOT SURE HOW UGLY HE'LL BECOME
DAD DON'T ALWAYS KEEP SILENT
YOU'LL BREAK ONE DAY UNDER ALL THE WEIGHT
I'LL BE OKAY DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME
BUT PLEASE DON'T PRETEND ALL OF THIS IS NOT BURNING
YOU CAN'T TELL ME ABOUT THE LAWYERS
AND THEN ACT LIKE YOU NEVER SAID A WORD
I DON'T WANT YOU TO SAY YOU'RE MOVING TO ANOTHER PLACE
BUT NOT LOOK AT ME FOR FOUR DAYS
MARRIAGE WAS SUPPOSE TO BE SACRED
THAT'S AT LEAST WHAT YOU TOLD ME
THE DAY MY SISTER ELOPED WITH HER BOYFRIEND
SAVE YOURSELF FOR THE RIGHT MAN
WAS EVERYTHING YOU REPEATED FOR EIGHT DAYS
AFTER I ENTERED MY FIRST RELATIONSHIP
BUT NOW THE WEDDING CHINA
IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND
SOMEONES CLOTHES REST IN ANOTHER CLOSET
I'M BEING LEFT BEHIND
IN THE ASHES AND RUBBLE
OF MY CHILDHOOD LIFE
THERE'S NOTHING THAT I CAN DO TO STOP IT
YOU TWO WILL NO LONGER BE ONE
BUT I WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR DAUGHTER
MAYBE IN THE FUTURE I'LL UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU MEAN WHEN YOU SAY YOU'RE BOTH MARTYRS

your hair is unruly and unkempt
and i can't seem to form a coherent thought.

your very being is a colorful illustration
that i could study endlessly.

let me drink you in.

i promise not to leak.

i will savor every drop
and never let you flee.

There in the dawn
Was a breath of wind
That fanned across my heart.
And I ached then -as I do now-
To know those words again.
So they could see my ocean of water nymphs
And my sky of flitting fairies.
So they could see the world
I imagine.

I want to say it all
I want to free the birds
Trapped in the tower's hall

But I can't open
The windows anymore
I can't free
Them to fly
And no one can release me

But I'll smile
For now, because prisons aren't forever
And it's already been a while
