Bite off more than you can chew/Co/I can show you that I care

Bite off more than you can chew

and not a soul said

that it          was a commandment that had to be followed

and yet we all

accept the love that we think we deserve

 

Co

 

I stripped the colour from myself

Grayscale is comfortable

It reminded me of home, the discontent with oneself

I find that I am not able

To let go of the distrust

After all I must

Stay hidden

Stay unseen

Stay quiet

And unclean

I can show you that I care

 

I have a flask in my jacket,

we can share it and pretend to enjoy the pain.

Talk for hours at a natural pace.

 

——— In the morning the alien feeling

——of being known

—will drive our desperation.
