Skeletons
It’s hard to look at you
Now, skeleton face
Your teeth chatter like metallic
Boxes, I love you - Forgive me
I sit across from you
Pancake house
Face of anger
Eyes of nothing
I hate what this is doing to you
I burst out in tears
You call me babe
Please don’t go
We sit on your couch
It’s cold outside
And inside, violence
stole your eyes
Anger
Cast and Reel
Cracked jaw, rainbow eyes
Scaly monsters of the deep
It was worth your blood,
To spend time with him.
Forevers hooked hopes happening
Setting in the sun
Black eyes, gasping for breath
Reminds us all of where we’ll go
Lake lovers are forced to be
The water, cold as everything
The wind splattering, splishing, splashing
Boats of men
Cast out and reel back in
I cracked your jaw open,
When I tore the hook out.
Sometimes you can’t get the hook out.
I’m sorry for your blood
It was for him
Wore his shoes when I was
Lost, lonely, and young
Panicked, I couldn’t get the hook out
Viscous and ugly,
Frantic, I gotta get the hook out
Sometimes you can’t get the hook out
Fighting and pulling,
We are all the way in
Earth - Heaven- earth again
He taught me about God
Fires burn
In a thundering sky.
Louds as fire
Your voice when I was young
The blood we spill every day,
Wishing for more time.
We cast out
And reel back in
