Thousands of thoughts
smudged into paper, so thin.
Ink isn't the only thing bleeding tonight.
I look for meaning in the letters
sinking into this book.
I look for meaning in the blood
I'm pounding into the wall.
Sometimes you can't help the stains,
is all I can think.
Will you hold it against me
if I can't hold myself together?
Will I hold it against me?
