my heart is a sickly
and open thing
tell me- do you see it?
the blood pouring out
the way it pools on the floor
the way it looks like roses
like the garden we used to dance in
or maybe it's just red

tell me- can u hear it?
the buzz in my brain
in my head i'm home
because in my head there's you
my thoughts buzz with the hope
but drop dead with disappointment

tell me- can you feel it too
the need, the tug, the pulse, the buzz
my lungs are bursting now
they scream oxygen
and scream some more
