Flightless

by kayla-denara-prentice

It's quite quiet when you reach the end When you're lying all alone With bones beside you, but the love is gone And 3 a.m. comes crashing down With nowhere to go but a breath's length away It's quite vague when you count your thoughts When you're peering through With automatic wants to redeem, but our bodies block the bathroom door And every word is a strangled gift With love stopped dead behind teeth It's quite lonely when you find yourself When transcendental twirls cease With a horror unworthy of any release, but the anchor's rust tastes so clean And the rope is burning too much to let go With absolutely nothing, you're set free It's quite quiet when morning birds cry in their sleep.
