Such A Delicate Thing

i plucked my eyelashes like rose petals until
you'd text me back
how could you be so clumsy when my heart is made of glass?
i caught myself on fire
so you'd be fine and warm
you don't really care about my feelings when my mind twists and turns

and maybe it's just my bad brain that generates that claim
the rusted gears and stained tears wonder why they were made

i hiked the mountains and swam the seas so they'd tell me i was pretty
but the highest peak and the deepest waters only made me weak
they say that beauty hurts
but god, i love the pain
i tore my shirt
and bled on the chains

i'm a tree in a lightning storm
and i'll anticipate every strike
i'm newspaper on a windy day
i'll cleaver and take flight
on the edge of a tired shelf i am fine china
so don't knock on the walls
i'm a sick bird with one wing
such a delicate thing
and i'll break when i fall
