I want to watch all The teeth fall out Of my mouth My eyes sink Into my skull Every hair Fall out of my head
Brittle nails and blue fingertips Yellowing patches And skin Clear enough to see rivers Flowing beneath Canvased tight, as if my bones Are just hoping to break free
To cut through The canvas with The knife my grandfather Gave me Spilling everything
Every word I could never get out Every time getting Caught on The tip of my tongue
No glass half full Or half empty I want to be as shallow as it gets
When the waves Crash against the shoreline Making their way up To meet your sand-covered toes, That is as shallow as The water gets
I could never Be so versatile As the ocean
I have to choose, And whatβs the point of Such strong feelings If they are always trapped And writhing On my inside
