Box Springs

"I wanna be alone."

She said under her breath

And I could feel my heart strings stretch

And I draped them all around her neck

And I just sang

"I was a mess before we met

Sleeping in box springs

Covered in sweat

Afraid of everything and shrinking slowly"

And I watched her walk

To the wall I was staring at

With her legs like rope

And she tied them around my lap

"You're not broke

People feel like this everywhere

I should know

I was a mess before we met

Sleeping on velvet

Covered in sweat

Hating everything and sinking slowly"
