Its been 8 days since I last threw myself into a breath Ripping apart my lungs, only to throw them back together Over and over again Sipping cool silence on my tongue Letting it saunter into my chest Filling a hole you can't vouch for in a colored creation Selling my teeth to pay for a smile Sewing my lips on the christmas tree, to remember holiday cheer Violent wakes of silent water Drowning my lackluster advances Its been 8 days since I last threw myself into a breath Punching holes in my ribcage Stuffing them shut for the winter
