I cut out my heart
And let the blood drip in the waters
The darkened tides ebbed away and away
I emptied myself that night
Yet as I lay here
I
Feel
everything
All at once.
And nothing
In waves
I cut out my heart
My ribs ached
My soul whispered for release
I watched as the water turned so dark,
The shadows hid away
I felt my veins
Go dry
But these eyes
Oh, these eyes
I needed them to flow
Show me
I care
I couldn't cry
I didn't,
Right?
Because if I did, someone would've been here.
Picking me up. Sewing me up
Cloistered birds don't fly too far from home
Yet here I am
Stray
Lost
.
I wonder if I ever felt love,
If the wind ever truly carried my name across seas and oceans
I wonder
If
She
Ever
Loved me.
