a work of art encased in spit
a pot of gold spray-painted shit
or a silver execution
into my head in search of song
out of my mind, i cannot talk
i am searching for asylum
my tongue is screaming for release
i need someplace to sink my teeth
and my skin is growing callused
and no, my stomach isn’t filled
you’ve gone away, i’m aching still
and i’ve become what i had feared so long
familiar twinges in my gut
love, i am guilty, but of what?
can you explain without explaining anything i don’t know?
decaying letters underground
my name was once a worthwhile sound
but i can only hear “i’m sorry, i don’t want to hurt you”
i’m breathing in my only truth
my view is blurred, my skin is loose
and my room is almost spinning
a drop of water on my lungs
a gust of wind around my tongue
all my words go half-remembered
before we spoke in lowercase
you touched my arms, i touched your face
like an island touches nothing
now porn is love enough for me
this is not where i want to be
i reach for you but only feel alone
and i’ve been stuck in bed all day
love, give me strength to pull away
can we just talk without restating everything that went wrong?
and i’ve been living underground
my name was once a worthwhile sound
but i can only hear “i’m sorry, i don’t want to hurt you”
