animal instincts.

i guess i thought that electrical charges could

somehow make up for the lack of

similar interests and complications

of heart strings and valve stents,

but it officially meant that i couldn't really

care for you or myself.

 

so, what if i wanted to be alone with my

head held high to view the beauty rather than

the

cold

and

***** streets.

 

but instead, i search.

i use my instincts to walk without

thinking

and swallow my tongue with a

scream in my throat and a

burn in my eyes.

 

yet, i still can find the room in

between my teeth to admit

i'd rather be with you.
