i think i've lost my feet
because i'm falling
or maybe its just the paper-thin floor
but suddenly my head's smashing through the cardboard door
and I just want to sleep
maybe in a few weeks i'll awake and see what the world's wanting me to be
but for now i'm better off in a pool of misery
and suddenly,
all she saw was the back of your head.
and the clink of your shoes
and the door
slam in her face.
but the office was quiet,
and the moon was forced into sight
and she had to bite down to keep sobs afloat in her throat
and when she looked in the mirror that night:
there was red on her lips
and
the scars
reminded her of that one time
she
slipped.
breathe me in,
breathe me out,
do you taste the salt?
just wait, it'll kick in later.
probably in your sleep
you'll leap up
and
forget how to speak:
then break down and
weep.
you didn't know it:
but I am about as safe as an unlocked safe.
