once again, curved fists and clenched eyebrows and your words are venom in my mouth MY LIPS ARE BLEEDING, BROKEN THAT I'M ONLY TRYING TO HELP little baby, little boy curled up in your accusations he reaches a single finger, gnarled and unsure your violence and insults and broken hands are turning him from boy to m o n s t e r. "you're the only one who understands me" watch as my heart crumbles and falls into the ocean  in every single way i've ever wanted to save you i'm sorry the telescope lens is still cloudy i have to cut my knees and crawl back through the ******* dungeon find my way through the bramble and glass and barbed wire I'M TIRED OF GOING BACK GOING BACK GOING BACK i want the safety of the muted nest and momma's lemon tree i promise i won't eat all the broccoli if you'll let me come home.
