Don’t undress me
With your eyes.
I wish I could show you-
Raised, jagged, ugly marks
But I can’t.

So we dance
With clothes on,
Until you get bored.

Why would I give you my heart?
I know you’re going to break me.
Why would you break me?
Take it back, baby.
Take it all back.
You didn’t mean it right?
Say you didn’t mean it.

I loved you.
But I’ll take it back.

Little snowflakes plummet behind glass panes.
Are they mocking me?
Do they know? Can they see my arms and legs?

A car shivers beneath street lights.
Will she know when I’m gone? Is she sad I left her
Alone?

Do you wish I was more, baby?
That I could say ‘I love you’
In more than a whisper-
That I could hold your hand
Without shrinking-
Whats wrong with me, baby?
It’s not fair.

I’m disgusting
I think I’m going to spill my guts
All over myself
I can’t stand it
Living in this skin
In this mind
I’m trapped
Help me! I can’t get out!
Please!

nothingness buzzes—
static sharp—
from a box screen
the galaxy spins
around my legs, arms, chest

take me with you.

i want to fly away
far far away
if i close my eyes i can feel it
my arms shifting, breaking apart
morphing, forming-
into mangled raven wings
the window calls for me
i'm flying-
flying-
my wings are gone.
