"I am a
mess."

I read
and
I regress

every breath hits
me in my head

and it's not that I care
even if I do
it's not that I care that
I want you

it's just
noone knows
me but a few

and even then
I don't know myself

maybe you can
save me from
my hell

I want silence
I want peace
this makes my defense
look made of fleece

is it bad I want what is good
but I can never have it
without feeling cold?

drip drip
the faucet says

like me when I'm feeling
so brittle and dead
at 4 am

and the clock rides
a cycle
I wish I had

if I did I wouldn't feel
lost and without cause
