you dwindle to nothing
so swiftly
like wax to the heat
my dear icarus incarnateand you had me believe this thing was fate
fucking fate?
our world is a cosmic mishap
and order is not our natural stateand you knew that
you know
how my knees kiss the floor without hesitation
when you're nearand you sing with an angel's clear choir voice
standing high and mighty
chest puffed for war when
there needn't be oneand you speak like your wisdom is a blessing
to my little life hanging on your
Theseus puppet stringbut i'm not your
rag doll. kitchen sink. playthingand your words aren't the gospel
you're a first-rate rambling liar
with a flair for the dramatics
the sky and the sun and the sea are over therego jump
a/n: yikes. this sUCcks but i'm so tired
