there's a hole inside of me / and it's shaped like you / it curves around your frame / it was made for your body only the lock in my ribcage knew -- a long time before i did -- that you were the only key / i'm scared that once you've unlocked it / you'll see why the handle has been dusty for so long / and you'll shut me right back up / board up the doors / and leave me writhing
