I’ve been waiting For years And days And all the seconds For a warm body.
In my house, You don’t ask questions. The whispers from mom and dad Signal you to a hiding place. In my house,
You ruined me. How could you? You’re my mother. You were supposed to be strong. Not me.
Walking by at night, I saw the falling snow Tumble down like sleep. God, how could you be So cruel as to give
The devil’s in my midst.
In seventh grade, I made you a po… But I tore it up into pieces Because it wasn’t good enough. In eighth grade, I made you a poe… But I left it under my bed
I wish I could tell my brother That I loved him, But the words are tight in my thro… And I’m a coward. I wish I didn’t say “thank you”
Shambles: They hold my life together. I’m shredded into slices, Trying to hold it whole, And I wonder if anyone
Without you, I feel the pain. The rain seems cold now. Thunder is only evil, And the sky is bare and pale.
Last night, all I saw was Nancy. The way she cried when I held her… Like a fleshy cradle Around her broken heart. I saw her loving me
With him, It’s like there were no scars. There are no sheepish looks No burning shame. There was no John
Nobody can see the darkness in me, And when I go deep, I bring a flashlight to slash thro… The dark. I once used to frolic in light,
Don’t cry Don’t cry Don’t cry Because it’s your birthday.
The tissues know something. Even the mirror knows. My music knows it And especially my pillow. My books can see it
Winter is getting worse. Is there no justice In my punishment Brought about by my peers? I yearn to burrow in warm dirt
