Don't you dare leave him here
Don't you dare
Don't you dare leave him here
She felt as if he wasn't even there
wasn't listening
was lost in an abyss
as if he didn't matter
as if he didn't care
and I told you to be there
but this world can't understand
the whispers of my breaking mind
shattering under the pressure
of the sea
When I crack
when I break
don't cry
listen to my voice
saying
"I wasn't okay!"
and each time I bring my fever to my lips and inhale
and let out a steady stream of blue smoke
I feel
inhibition
slipping away
in the rain
and if I run into the river
without help
let the thunder
stroke my ego
until I feel
important
again.
