Flimsy, buoyant. I am a pool noodle

by @lyss-gia

The cloud are reflecting off my computer screen Moving at a rapid pace They have somewhere to be They have to move on Fading into my shadow They’re like daggers My head is like daggers And my smile is like a rifle Loops one more time Just picking the achy strings I think he’s exhausted Really just fucking tired And the way he sings Just wants to speak And pour all of his heart Thoughts Emotions Pain Pain Pain These pitches, John, they aren’t real They aren’t right You aren’t right I’m listening to this for you Because last night was the night I took your life I was tired too I was tired and used your insecurities As an excuse To blow you off Bryce come back please I love you I CAN’T SEE WHAT I’m typing anymore It’s waterwashed I love you I love you I lov you please Please trust me My tears are ocean currents My calves are the sand Pull me to La Jolla please now Hold my hand Bryce You’ll be unconscience in 5 minutes Fiberglass isn’t all that dependable Fiberglass will float on You’re heart is lead Let it sink Hold my hand Let it sink They’ll find our bodies Eaten decayed by algae You look just as fine with your Skin pruned and ribcage exposed I would kiss you all the same with your Toes consumed by fishes 4 times over John 4 times you don’t sound anymore like an answer
