standing upon giraffes

by screampoetry

if, somehow, you could see how high & dense your fortified groves has gotten you wouldn't be asking me why i'm trying to get to you like a giraffe gets to the leaves in the trees, because your barrier is like barb wire tangled around your wrists and, almost like a failed lobotomy, you're as mad as a hatter, and the ribbons that tied us together tightly unwoven it's knot, and i'm so careful in finding the pieces of worn bricks to tear down and not break you in the process the fear left me restless, without a doubt, you get helpless after a while and start believing that sandpaper and silk are similar, but they aren't textured the same in reality, yet who even really knows what is wrong and what is right? maybe the puzzle pieces get worn over time and they're not even considered to be pieces to a puzzle anymore, it's like putting together a falling apart pie - kra
