rome's calling my name
asking me for help with its fallen empire
to reclaim its natural beauty
your beauty is undying i wanted to say
but i'm too deeply infatuated
with california's modern bridges
and the asphaltic pavements
i've always walked on
when i get lonely.

she smiled the brightest smile
and the wind kissed her teeth
the moon swooning over her kind
a sunrise scantily girl she was
but like the moon
her body was excavated
her craters were her insecurities
even though everyone loved them
they were her curse
because earth boys would
jump into her craters
leaving deep cuts on her thighs.

jumping into little ponds
would be the only way
to heal her from her pain
but you drank
all the bodies of water left
not a single drop for me
because you're selfish
you want me to break
and say i'd go back to you
like the hopeless puppet i used to be
but that's not what i am anymore
lover,

i'm nothing and everything
i wanted to be
and you,
you're dead to me.
