I was diagnosedChronic CardiacMartyrdomInternal bleeding

Faltering silenceDry kisses painted in naughtWhen did we lose it?

I am saltwaterKept you buoyant chest- levelI can burn your eyes

Midsummer nightfallTwisted songs of a nightingaleFill my glass jar chest

A cut to the boneOsteopathic damageNone hurts but your stare

My mouth collects wordsFrom the pit of my stomachNone have to be said

The day you said let'sI thought of it as sillyBut your lips were quick

Slick little coin trickPeripheral vision blindAll eyes on your act

Here caged in your armssilken night gown, pompadourA veranda scene

Drought came to my eyesas dust being blown againstCrushed pebbles of lies
