My lips encoded your fingertips
The day you said good bye
l tossed and turned all night
Because you weren't by my side
l can't breathe without you
Reverse CPR double standard
l drunkenly walk a straight line
ignoring the tingle in my spine
Tilt my head
Blow, blow, blow
Post it on my soul
Hashtag, emoji
Am an architect of love
From the blueprints of
Soiled scrubs
Check my pulse
Run me an IV
Do need anesthesia
To numb what's prescribed
With your fingertips
Misconstrued encoding
I have a face for everything
Billing and coding
Strenuous emoji
Reverse CPR
Because without you
I refuse to live
To numb for what's prescribed
Underneath the candlelight
