that once when we were alone you showed me
your thighs where you used to cut
you said your white bones stared back at you
through your cuts
but i just saw pale scars
the nests right above your collar and hip bones
where birds that tire from their long journeys die
i used to sleep there night after afternoon after night
with you, i felt safe to tell you everything
even for you, my thoughts were too heavy
bae what a bore
later you grew tired of my droopy eyes
no more dwelling in you
hey wake up sweet thing it’s time to go
you’ll make it, i am sure
you’re beautiful
you’ll make it, i am sure
‘cause i cannot help you
