the time it took me to realize time was exactly what i needed was found too late
if patience is a strong point add another weakness to my fractured list of failings
so i elected to man the unmanned ship
to be the test subject, the crash test dummy, the petri dish, colonized by a millions regrets and cast into the vacuum
i knew the wine was poisoned so i slipped an antidote into your glass as well, single serving size
i am a human ark, but you were always the storm that drowned my entire world and i never wanted to sink so badly
crawl inside my chest, i’ll protect you from yourself as the waves pull me under
ignore the feathers, i once thought maybe i could fly, it was a dream like love and happiness, another set of rags wrapped around frostbitten feet as i carry you to the fire
time has always been my prison, you the jailer with your tin cup rattling across the bars of another insipid poem composed for you
put me down, i am not sick but i am most certainly not well, one shot between the open adoration in my stare, a blade in the guts, make it last
just make it last, line the fire in your eyes, the gleam of your teeth
all i see is the things we can never have, the dreams we’ll never live
the time it took me to realize time was what i needed was found far too late
I loooooove: “crawl inside my chest, i’ll protect you from yourself as the waves pull me under”

Yes! I’ve been wanting to collaborate with someone but no one has been in the mood, I guess.

send me something. i’m tired of my own head. I was working on sending something to Mush but he is taking a much needed break.
