palms to finger

I don't expect you to read this and understand a word

I don't expect any miracles or revelations to come pouring

from your crystalline cranium

I just expect for my broken bones and shattered moans

to be audible to the naked ear

I don't want you to come crying to me

or even call me your knight in shining armour

all I ask is that you see you've always been the rider

and I'm just begging to be your ******* horse.

 

But you'll never see me for what I am.

that **** witch used your resonant frequency

and now youre in pieces

and your veil is sewn

you'll always see me in reflections of your past

goggles of your mother's addictions

but I swear I'm just sitting here holding out my open palm

even if all you see is my middle finger.

 

Man, I'll stitch up your torn up mainsails

if you'll be my captain

hell I'll even steer the boat if you want

but **** I cant work with you if youre sailing on the opposite ship

I mean come on

I'll let you sink those grappling hooks into the **** deck

swing an army of men onto my boards and beams

and you can take every rope, wheel, anchor, reel

I just ask that I get to be your prisoner

because GOD KNOWS thats all i'm good for anymore

 

but ill always be hereforyoui promise.
