i love when the bells start ringing
i love to hear what you’re thinking about
i love all the bones you bring me
dug up from a hole in the back of the couch
i love when the moment hits me
low blow and a whispered “stay down”
all the spinning stars so pretty
good karma lashing out
is it wrong for you to laugh it off?
not at all
i love when you listen to me
i don’t know what i’ll do when you figure me out
bottle up a backup plan but
i can’t stand the stress
i’ve always been a mess
is it wrong for you to laugh it off?
not at all
not if i keep crawling back
safe and small or
not at all
is it wrong for me to even ask?
not at all
not if i keep crawling back
safe and small or
not at all
early morning
higher ceiling
fuzzy feeling
like nothing at all
