I'M BEGGING YOU
Please look at me
And so your eyes speak
The cracks are forming
Your lack of individuality is concerning
And somehow discerning
Whose trust have you been earning
And whose attention are you yearning
Because it's not mine
Not this time
I try to draw every line
That forms inside your fragile mind
I'm fine
Though blind
I keep it together
Like a book with no binding
The pages are tearing
The seams are unwinding
What do I do?
Lace it back up as if it were a shoe?
Even though the soul of it is worn?
How do you repair a book if it's already been torn?
The words are missing
So now how do I speak
Who are you kissing
Under my beak
Your lies
THEY LEAK
I can smell them
AS YOU SPEAK
Gut wrenching
Distasteful
WRECK
How do I fix you if you've always been a mess
It's like I was given a staple
When my pages were in distress
Ungrateful
Cowardly
Hateful
Seeping
MESS.
