She was hiding under heart beats;
She was hiding in the holes in his chest.
Listening to the
sounds cry
From the broken stereo
Hidden in her ears.
You watch as the
Pores from her skin
and the Cells in her body,
Follow her lead
And hide behind the makeup
(Made up) on her face.
And we watch as I breathe.
Because as I breathe,
The world changes...
Everything changes,
And part of it is because of me.
I'm running
[Like water]
And My molecules are turning into
Liquid.
My stomach has a monster,
Chewing apart the
Butterflies.
And I can feel him climb up my throat,
feasting on the
Words that I swallowed.
I can hear you.
Here.
There.
I can hear your Dead, Decaying,
Heart Beat,
And it's like music to my ears.
I can feel the rainstorms of fingerprints
Falling on my body.
I can hear the rainstorms of I NEED YOU's
Sleeping in their clouds.
I'm the sound inside your chest.
I'm the pounding in your hipbones.
I'm the waves beneath your fingertips.
I'm absolutely nothing but a consistent breath of air.
I'm a billboard for
Advertising Broken wishes on Falling stars,
And I carry a
Cluster of Disasters
In my pocket full of Sincerity,
Every where I go.
The colors of Autumn
Changes to Ashes,
And they're hanging off my eyelash wishes.
The Sun sleeps in a shade of Forever,
And if holding on to you meant I'd lose the sun,
(Well, Baby, I'd be nocturnal.)
Too bad I don't have anymore strength to reach with.
I try to paint myself a comatose
Of Dreams and Forevers
In the shade of rainbows.
I try to picture perfect
Thoughts of
Skeleton structures
Rising with my Imagination.
I try on feelings
That are so loud,
And don't fit me right,
So I hide behind words
That I can't spit out,
(So I just chew up.)
And as you're choking on your own
Sentiments
I realize.
... I'm her.
I'm you.
I'm everything between.
Because I'm just lungs full of air,
and all I do
is breathe.
