siren song

I probably shouldn’t fall in love again…

I’ll just go around

slicing people open…

hoping they know how to hold their own guts in

 

I want dangerous beauty

connection…

and razor-sharp containers

 

a sphere of edges

flattening my heart strings

by bowing back the curtains

and demanding I be seen

 

devouring the light

the betrays the sullen darkness

 

I can’t be fuck from the outside in

you gotta work on my internal organs first

was it safer to keep them ethereal

at a distance…

 

maybe if I could hear it confirmed

just one more time

that they don’t want me…

never really did

 

I could jump into the deep end

skip the shallows completely…

and sing

just like a siren
