maim
maim my brain
**** my body
wring me out and hang me up
for the vultures to peck
when there are no field mice left
cut my hair
and burn my *******
scalp my head
and **** my chest
and i'll love
i'll love i'll love you forever
when you put you put you put me together
when you make you make you make me forget
all that you fail to regret
when you make you make you make me think
that you make you make you make me happy
but i know i know i know you ****
i know you ****'
and ****
and
****.
I wrote this in the throes of my eating disorder, years ago in high school. I think I used the repetition to mimic sobbing and the inability to make fluid speech, but paired it with a jumpy rhythm.
