Im trying to get comfortable

Im trying to arch my back

Trying to split my spine open

Show me yours

Show me your haunches

Show me how you’re tough

Hold me

Hold me

Tell me

Why am I so alone, huh?

Everyday I clean my house

Everyday I make it dirty

Expose me

Weak

Reality

Make my

Mind

Not feel the pace of nighttime

Buried me

In dust

To my third eye

Sleep

Silent men

Dont

Chase me down the mouth

Ache

Brain

French fried

Tell me

How it feels from far away

I’ll think of you as her

Keep you in my phone, clip you to my pocket

I’ll walk you through the snow

And point out

Small details

That get pixelated

I’ll think of you as her

To make the distance feel smaller

I’ll cradle you, softly

As if your only form exists

In the palm of my hand

I’ll keep you safe

From wet elements

I’ll let beach songs fill my mouth with a familiar salt

And when we’re reunited

In flesh

And warmth

I’ll lap up your tears to make sure the salt became real

Hmm

Soggy Cat

Panicked

Kitten giggles

Through burning eyes

Distorting hot

Hmmm

Plummy pink hickeys between my thighs now turned different shades of toxic yellow

Soggy cat

Dont cry

Old taste of your throat sitting in the back of mine

I’ll drown myself

Just to hear your muffled laugh again

Tell me

Whats that look between your eyes?

Hold me

Hold me
