{ the sky above ablaze }

i don't understand
why do i stress a man
when there's so many
better things at hand

i shouldn't play myself again
i should just be my own best friend


here i am, wrapped up in a pencil skirt and heels,
feeling anything but put together. i feel like my molecules
are escaping in clumps, floating away, betraying centrifugal force,
leaving me with gaps and phantom limbs.

i can't hold together anymore. i can't i can't i can't
i can't i can't.

i wish i could say no to regrets
and no to emotional debts
and as we kiss goodbye the sun sets

so we are history
the shadow covers me

The phantom limbs are the worst.
The very worst.
