up early this morning
to chase off the lies
and gather the pieces
I made in the night
I'm a shameful ghost
watching you dream
lungs trapped in my chest
because I want you to sleep
said you're a fool with a fool's past
you can't reconcile
a green land gone squalid
emotions you can't rile
in a room all alone
you rob graves and divine bones
and use writers and poets
because you can't make your own
I agree with you
I give credence to whispers
that pray on my mind
spooling darkness
I can't seem to unwind
I flew off the handle
when you mentioned this
now I've used all my time up
and I've got nothing left
You're pregnant with the demons
you won't exorcise
skeletons you dance with
but won't look in the eyes
oh you're dripping with passion
but you grimace the sighs
your poison misspent
when it's you you despise
I agree with you
I keep making faces
of patterns on walls
you hold me and tell me
that I'm tired and that's all
that this can be good
that we can go away
that whoever lauded
being afraid
