You describe the tree tops as majestic, and cats, and trampolines, and pancakes with no egg, not even milk, not even a drop of milk. Your postcards wont be able to find me, so don't bother wasting your stamps, use them for something important, like potatoes, or some fake eye lashes. Side-hugs are awkward, so are nervous people, and I get especially nervous when you ask my friends to lick your toes. My tongue is rough, like a cats tongue, and no one wants to kiss a cat, because a cat hides behind the cracks. Inside the cracks noise makes, and in the color of your eyes. I write out my secrets, bold, and italic Hoping someone will realize that I'm lying, or that I wish I was lying. That everything I say is a joke, or that every sincere piece of literature is burning in the flames that are your eyes, and it's going to leave scars deeper than you could imagine. My nails are getting long, but my clippers are still stuck in that mans left eye, (not that it matters, he deserved what he got). I've thought about imprisonment, and it didn't take me too long to realize that I'm living it, or that I can see it in my best friends laugh lines, or in the corners of her brothers eyes. A whale once told me about her experience: "All the corners meet brick by brick I'm stuck in a cell and I'm getting sick the food is gross I want to listen to Sigur Ros BUT I CAN'T because I did a bad thing" I guess I don't have any room to complain about love, or friendship, or **** or torture, or birth, no matter how traumatic people say it is. I'll always be stuck in my head, and to me, that's worse than anything.

I want to eat my brains out to make room for yours.
