clicking teeth rattling breath veins too small and cramped lungs spindly ribs and spiderweb lips you wake up sunshine on your face lazy smile lazy voice eyes squinted why can't I be happy like you? you taste like ozone and i have traced the knots on your ankles and the hole in your chest for hours revising calculations compiling a chart mapping your unknown spaces to find the real distance from you to me not in the light years from your mouth to mine but thoughts memories four thousand six hundred fourty four instances without me that void is infinite your mouth is full of flies your brain is a quasar with no light on the horizon there is nothing left of you but bones and a nest of veins and arteries with your heart stuck in the center like an egg your wings are melting you've flown too close to the sun again wax tattoos you poppy red in drip drip drips how could i forget you? your parabolas your rosy cheeks and the weight of you how could i forget? you have no solution (i could help you find one)

Chest
clicking teeth rattling breath veins too small and cramped lungs spindly ribs and spiderweb lips you wake up sunshine on your face lazy smile lazy voice eyes squinted why can't I be happy like you? you taste like ozone and i have traced the knots on your ankles and the hole in your chest for hours revising calculations compiling a chart mapping your unknown spaces to find the real distance from you to me not in the light years from your mouth to mine but thoughts memories four thousand six hundred fourty four instances without me that void is infinite your mouth is full of flies your brain is a quasar with no light on the horizon there is nothing left of you but bones and a nest of veins and arteries with your heart stuck in the center like an egg your wings are melting you've flown too close to the sun again wax tattoos you poppy red in drip drip drips how could i forget you? your parabolas your rosy cheeks and the weight of you how could i forget? you have no solution (i could help you find one)
