[hands to skin]
I’m too far in
to run away
to find a way
to
…vanish…
razor.to.soul
I’m far too old
to still want to
t.r.u.s.t
my spirit is
[rusting]
away
oh darling
how could I possibly go?
I simply couldn’t say
[no]
& with hands to skin
I was too far in
to know
it’s now so long ago.
[I was far too young to know]
