i want the stars to teach me how to dance
i'll tell all my secrets to the empty sky
like tidal waves i'll kiss you as if
we have all the time in the world
but like all things that move with the moon
i'll leave i'll always leave
there is no standing still
for things like me
no matter how much i wish
i could grow roots

you were made of
comets mountains and stars
your mistake was settling down
on being treated as if
you were dirt dust and mud
you will lose sleep over making the mistake
of thinking that other people's hearts and yours
are made of the same parts

it rains and rains
as you momenteraly come to
senses of sorts
it isn't anything but fitting
for there never was anyone else i knew
to be bigger on the dramatics
i wonder what kind of freedom
such indifference brings
do you ever stop to wonder
how you do not know your own flesh and blood
the way you make soulmates with bottoms of the bottles
does it burn your insides better
than the tiny hand of tattoos
where is the irony of only ever excisting
on top of your heart
i will no longer be the one for you to call
i do not want the crown
if the kingdom was only built
for liquids secrets and sadness

not another half
waiting to be whole
not here for you to be saved
if these glitches and tales
with too many details
fail to fall under the area of
your expertise
do not blame me for cutting any ties
if you have gifted me with the scissors
i am under no obligation to be understood
nor do i need your permission
to be a different person from who i was
five minutes ago
