Are you as sad as your eyes,
Those dull blue eyes that
tell me you're carrying a dead love
like a heavy carcass
everywhere you go
Are you as weak as your lungs,
those tar-stained lungs that
I thought were going to give out
when you stopped holding your tears back
Are you as lost as your voice,
that husky voice that seemed to crack
and fade out, carrying unfinished sentences
as if you had been gagged
I'm sorry,
I cannot hold your heart for you,
wrapped in velvet to keep safe
when you keep letting her
tear it
tear it
tear it apart
like the beer mats that you abused
