Promise

you promised that you'd be here
buttoned up and bright as gun steel
i am holding flowers
and all the world is blunted teeth
is bodies all the same
is sleeping, calling out your name
i have so much time left
melt me into oil-black seascape
i have so much time left
I swear to you I'll live each day
like choking down a pill
want you to know, but you never will
I keep pulling out the driver
I keep ricocheting the bullets blindly
I keep arguing with timelines
I held you once with unclenched teeth
like everlasting good
tried to tell you the truth, but I never could

I had a secret

I had a secret but I forced it down
bought a little city just to push it around
lived a thousand lives but none of them were mine
I had a secret but no one cares who's alive
Built a rocket built a family built calliopes
broke my lungs and broke my stomach all for trying things
buried sickness under waking with more friends than I could keep
but darkness seems to animate my hands when I'm asleep
I had a secret and it felt so big
shed skins in dark hotel rooms now too deep to dig
too tired of this living and too scared to go outside
I had a secret no one cares who's alive
