i couldn't ever kick or scream loud enough to fight my way out
and i suppose you think this is your
game, and my head is your playground, you're
building walls and breaking them down, you're
pulling pieces out of
place and i'm left spending

commission housing flats, wondering
if i could live beneath the
floorboards of the buildings i
walked past every morning, and i
found myself lying in gutters spitting out
blood but i
haven't got the energy to abuse myself
anymore

stare, pallid green melted into
gold, arching back and warm
hands, cool lips against my
forehead and your sigh
forever in my ears
you've taken up permanent
residence in my bones,
joints moving like crashing waves, this
syncopated rhythm is where i
survive, this ocean tide, this
is where i
reside
