Home Wrecked
I’m gonna lock my heart
Inside a wooden box
And light it up with matches
Cause the only pain I seem to bear
Is self inflicted-
Not being wanted by you is
A shame
I carry my conflictions
Like small paper cuts in my skin,
Invisible but stinging to the touch
You sing to me while driving
And you dance behind closed doors,
You smile at me so sadly,
And your eyes they stare so long
Desire is your best friend
When it comes to my small body-
And your hands are wild explorers
That are begging to come home,
Tonight I’ll wrap my arms around you,
I’ll whisper on your skin-
And hope your heart absorbs these words of mine
That make me bleed within
Your legs - with mine - are fully tangled,
And forever they might be,
Since the day we shared our bodies
In between your mangled sheets
I’ll kiss you like I love you
Even though I never can,
Cause the day I do I might lose life
Within
But I’ll cherish you throughout me,
Keep you wrapped up in my mind
Cause the sweetest burden sits as hard
As “almost” does each time
Give me all of you
Forever
That would make me feel so sweet,
Or let me down quite gently
So I die while we both sleep.
