It’s fatal to twist my stomach this way,
Yet he leaves me to walk around
Having swallowed glass and nails
I’m both starving and so full, I spill over

Leave me
Leave me
Please, I’d hollow out this body
Rather than be a whole woman with a single piece of you still inside me
I’d rather crash this car while I’m young and sturdy
Than wait as you take four steps back for every five forward
Slipping skyward like running paint on the horizon
I was earthbound, I would’ve died trying
I believed in a tether we couldn’t see but it was only lights and strategic wiring
Our first night failed us, now it’s miserably dated
Every night I still ask it into my bed
I still sleep with it right next to my head
