i washed my bones clean but now the rivers all dried up
you dreamed my whole wide world and i saw it in your eyes
pale at first then deeper blue
i stood at the edge and the water swallowed me.

all i have ever done is hide.
hands sewn in pockets, veins tied in two
you said that love was black and white
but i added in the red and blue.
initials carved into my arms
the names burned across my tongue
until i hate the taste
of being used.
