Dreaming

There comes a point without expectations

Where slit wrists look beautiful

and eating disorders become your cure

 

You'll start to love naps

and resent people

 

You can cry but no one will notice

and you won't want them to

 

There's a point where blood is mellifluous

tears are sweet

bones are marvelous

 

There's a point where you

and your bed

become lovers;

One can't live without the other

and if you didn't have dreams to escape to

even though they tease you

no one would be living
