i'll bundle up in bed after waking for the tenth time this hour then rise again and pace in circles until i can run to meet you at the finish to this line. my head's gonna spin away from me like those beads you dropped on the floor and my skin's gonna shivver and shake until i shed it straight off my body and i'm a heap of bones and dried up thoughts that puddles at the doormat 'till the sun dries everything up. i'm gonna think myself to exhaustion so that my eyes can't ever close and my words won't ever stop racing into blurs at the space behind my eyes. that phone doesn't stop ringing but it's connection's always bad. and the channels don't stop changing but they're always on a commercial break, these days. red x's on the calender mark days closer to you and further from the shining days we shattered through in five minutes flat. your sentences appear six inches from my sight but they move you miles deeper into black and across the blue i could never break. i'm gonna put myself on warning because i know i'll breathe myself to death here. i'm gonna lock the doors and windows draw the curtains to hide the day. come wake me up, and bring me back. or lay next to me and dream the same. |
