When you graze my lips with my mouth so full of questions
rest your palms on my cheeks, shut my lids and whisper, "Sleep for weeks, Angel. Sleep."
Kneel over me weeping as I lay here for days. Catatonic. Dreamless.
Please ignore, on my floor, all this blood 'cause I'm not bleeding.
It's just my sleeve. Be relieved that this heart's no longer sewn onto my wrist.
And this photo of you cursing me is folded in my jeans.
Along with the letters that you took to be a glimpse of insight
to how I'd be on my own.
I'm finally on my own.
Put me down. Put me out. Take away the daily sickness.
Maladies impart me this mortal coil that we're still bound to.
18 days on these floors with this carpet as my blanket
and the roar of the heater imparting lull-a-byes for beauty sleep.
And this photo of you cursing me is folded in my jeans.
Along with the letters that you took to be a glimpse of insight
to how I'd be on my own.
I'm finally on my own.
Sleep for weeks. These wounds need no dressing.
Wintersweet, your bandages are blessings in disguise.
Wash them clean and bind my eyes.
And this photo of you cursing me is folded in my jeans.
Along with the letters that you took to be a glimpse of insight
to how I'd be on my own.
I'm finally on my own.
And this photo of you cursing me is folded in my jeans.
Along with the letters that you took to be a glimpse of insight
to how I'd be on my own.
I'm finally on my own.
