Funny Things - Bellows

You see that I’m naked, I see a pose

These thoughts once were bitter but now stone

Now that I’ve learned how to stand in my skin

It’s time I admitted this funny thing

Do you look in the mirror and see a heart

That bleeds such transparent, tepid blood?

I want to hear you scream at me

Our chests have been pumping such funny things

The endings of car rides, the swell of your face before you cry

It’s empty, unspoken

This speaking of coming untied

Follow my footsteps

I’ll show you these pits of my mind

I wish you would follow

I wish that you were like I was

Blank as a white bedsheet

Thanks for your time, it helps me

When I couldn’t think to be

Anything other than held underwater for you to discover after I have

AGGGGHHHHHHHHHH

Say something beautiful and just disappear

Or hate how you’re living like everyone else here

Psalm for a sinking ship

For the one little piece of it

That floats on the water when the rest has gone under
