end me before my patience does
and Ill speak to nothing before its done
when it is done
when the movement hasnt even yet begun
when a smile reaches a intimate young hand out and opens her eyelids
my blood rushes
and everything that spoke before inside of me hides
in hallow little corners where she couldnt see
thoughts hidden in darkness so that she cant listen to me

ivory neck sinuating itself around in my vision
sometimes all I see is you in my empty shell
and I fight to break out
but sometimes you give into the fight
you come down slowly and land on the floor
and just watch
Im watching
intently


we are running
we are running
so far
so far

from one another

misconceptions hug each other like loved ones on a boat to an island
somewhere far away from reality
and I bury my thoughts deeper into the dirt under
your bed while your sleeping and unaware of life
life who has placed its heavy hand on our small backs

so take my stars and put them away were they will stay bright
bright and hidden away from me and you
hidden away from the burdens
hidden away from the millstone
hidden away from the war

Ill take your freckles and keep them in my box of memories
take your voice and put it in my dreams
Ill take your little things and put them under everything

we are running
we are running
so far
so far



from one another
