I hang a prayer on the board
Loosely
Knowing it won't come true
Upside down and broken
I am falling down a hole I cannot name
There is no sound
As we stumble tumble down
Become the people who made us
Disgusting
Depraved
Deluded
Perhaps I am a specimen
An ant turning circles in a glass
Desperate for air
Hoping for life
Drowning in the liquor
Yes I remember now
The bath
The stars
The water
I was scared
But I am not allowed to be scared
Turn your frown upside down little clown
Fleece over the truth and hang with Alice
I am so tired
Pretending
I could burst
I would instill my child with roses
Instead she gave me dirt
There is no rabbit
No watch
Though time passes
Fuck how it passes
Thick as skin
Another wound sealing us in
I think that we are screaming
But glass emits no sound
I fill my dreams with paper prayers
Roses and light
Pins and stitches
Nothing comes right
I will steal the pocket watch
Reset time
I whisper gently to her from the floor
We need to begin again.
