the sweep of your eyes across my face
brings me down to your level
hiding in a shadow, hoping you don't see
that i'm holding a shovel.
i'm giving you a time limit
on the day i say i do, except
it won't be to a person but an it,
a devil in disguise,
i'm hoping you'll be the one who cuts my wrists for me.
this is a toxic, chemical, voluntary movement.
i don't know you and you don't know me,
but we're spending our last moments of the day
praying, screaming, quietly over the phone
whispers of a better tomorrow,
a dinner by the ocean never happened yet.
you're not trying to break up a happy home
but you remind of cigarettes i never smoked,
veins being popped,
all the highways i ran across.
you are everything he isn't.
a safe comfort in an unsafe world, well no.
you're exactly what everything a mother warns their daughters to avoid.
and i'm not falling.
i'm stepping off the cliff.
