there's water everywhere
it's in my lungs, and it's in my bed
it's 30 percent of the hair on my head
i'm holding my breath, and it's not fair

i've learned so much from you
it was stupid to be angry with you
but i can't blame myself for the fervor felt when i was someone else
and i can't blame you for not loving me

so now i'm back to skin and bones
feeling at home in a place that's not my home
i'm glad i've shed the weight of you
i'm thankful to not have you to answer to.

i'm hungry everyday now.
everything is all how it should be
i say it in my sleep now.

  1. I feel like you are channeling a melancholy Shel Silverstein. By no means is this meant as a negative comment. I really enjoy this work and wish you would write in this style more often. Keep it coming.
