Failing to breathe, she eats me whole
my heart explodes like a squashed orange.
She took the words from behind my teeth
hidden for years beneath a different disguise.
She takes me for long walks to teach me
how to skim stones
and still in my dreams my teeth fall apart.
When it snowed i covered myself in sheeps clothing
I stood on the rooftop and screamed every inch
of you out into the silent air,
each word, branded and glowing red, eaten by
snowflakes.
She ties me up and covers my eyes,
I'm led down a merry path of beauty and destruction
I hid for a while
but her words are a labyrinth
I drew the way back on my skin in black ink
Yet she poisoned the air so i couldn't see
anymore.
She threw me away
She dragged me out
I caught her looking att me as she walked away
I had fallen down
and she wasn't there.
A crack in the pavement.
Now i'm more careful when i walk.
