i
am shattering to pieces on the inside
and have nowhere to run
for the pieces of myself that got ripped from their places and broke apart
are lying there
beneath my skin and into the walls of my breathless lungs
cutting me from the upside down of my body-soul
i
i never knew how to properly run
in gym class they told me i did it wrong cause was pulling my ass out
i'd answer "no, my ass is just really big and it looks like that"
now, i still don't know how to run
because i'm aware that if i move
just a centimetre
i'm not going to be able to come back
to myself
ever again
because if i run, the glasses inside me will pin to my legs
and i will never get rid of them
anyway, there's no way
they're always going to be inside me
i just thought
maybe
if i stood still
and waited
for you to came back
maybe
you'd hug me
and i don't know
but maybe
just maybe
just like that
you'd put everything back in it's place.
It never ocured to me
that your mindless hug
would make every tiny
little bit of glass
hurt a little more
and dig
a little deeper
into the disfigured way
of my spine.
