all things aside 
i gave enough of my time 
i lost a dozen friends of mine 
but i don't think it will be long now 
please tell me that you won't be long 
i hate my body 
i love your taste 
bird stirring in my chest 
you give and take away 
restless limb, restless mind 
how time will test its teeth 
oh god 
we lived unloved in unmade beds 
you wore me like a necklace 
you closed me 
like a locket 
became something 
bloated with doubt 
bullied by love 
too small for eyes 
i think i'm at my best 
when nothing's needing me 
walked softly as i could 
and still i stepped on all their feet 
i want to apologize to everyone i see 
i want to apologize 
to everyone i meet 
haha 
ha ha ha
