bumbling waves
crash down my stairs
hitting every first second step
crying metronomes and strangled keys
of razor strings
crash down my stairs
bruise
my knees and tear my eyes

don't look at me like you do
like I'm a god just because

make me forget
my name and place
with your lips and
write your name on my breath
for morning

don't kiss me like you do
like I'm the end of the world and the answer
to yourself

everybody wants you and me
so what are you thinking?
do you wish you could be more like me or more like you?

whisper your blood to me
and stain my walls
with your war and peaces
your tasteful fears and
paper dreams

i hide in your head
and wonder
would it kill me
to be yours

don't ask me why I am the way
why I fly; you know
I can't help
that I was born falling
