To those who should
have known better
than to burn Their hands
on the stars:

i fell head over heels for Your
heart this heartbeat Halleluiah is nothing
but the truth
"i have a pill for you to take"
but i promise i'm not crazy i'm not crazy

a passive-aggressive victory feast
eating crow because someone
killed my little rag doll

crayon-drawn
lines and hoops to leap
(leap of faith)
through
we can’t pick our pieces

bobbing and weaving threads
some strands nearly worn through
and i can see the
magic poking out
some are not so loved but i
can't remove one thread
without unraveling the whole
bittersweet mess
i wove it myself all by myself
(don't want to be all by myself)
i stapled my poor lips shut
they can't betray me anymore loose lips
see shrinks

i’m standing in the cold again
(Your smile's on fire)
my black and blue heart bleeds i bleed
i cradle my poor dead rag doll soul
and watch as
ink and blood
write out my mystery on the cold
hospital floor

this whole bloody mess is all my own
my own fault
the sun sets on the wrong side of
my eyes but the darkness is just right

this perfectly beautiful pain won't do anymore

i'm shredding my skin.
