Shut my eyes, silent and starving
When the moon has come and the owl starts sing
I’m hunger for your ocean eyes and your sleek laugh
Your smooth hand that gently grasps mine with love
Thought grief will not sit with me
I was wrong, now grief is part of me
It sucks, my heart its hurting either way
Remorsful for given my hearts up to the play
My wrist is bleeding again
I feel pain
All of my eyes are wet
We shouldn’t be over yet.
