Feel them calling your name
They’re crawling over this paper
They’re scratching and kicking
They’re yelling and bleeding
They’re filled with
So much for no one
So much for just someone
So much for what I thought
And here they go again
They bite but swallow nothing
They try so hard to reframe their selves
Into a new scene
Failing to figure out
A way to kill your character
They dig so deep
Into dictionaries
Into Philosophy
Into therapy
They’re panicking at the idea
They refuse to leak over this paper
They’re terrified of
YOU
Being the essence
Of the next verse
Again
