I was killed
Multiple times
In multiple ways
By the same people
At the same place.

I wish the earth
Had spun less
When you turn around
So I could take one more glances
Or spun more
So it could disconnect
Your eyes that captured
My soul

If one day
when the sun sets below me
and the horizon finally stopped singing
these words I had laid out
will speak to you
--
but they won't betray me

It's not in your closet
Nor in your bed
If you look deeply in my eye
You'll see it's all in my head
