Carnivore

Carnivore

So much space can fit in a sigh
More than words can say
I'll be left here with my hands all awkward
Trying to mend space

I used to know you,
but not anymore
Your substance has been subtracted
word by word

Silence in my ears
where once you offered your convictions
Your promises are dried beats,
they're crap and nostalgia but
That's all right,
that's okay
Had no business giving myself to you anyway

I'll be careful next time for sure and I'll,
I'll never trust my pink fleshy heart
I'll never trsut my pink fleshy heart
to a carnivore.

Your soul is an inkstain
Your perfection is amend
You're as fragile as your thoughtlessness
Strong as you can bend

You could only believe in embryos
Held all your high hopes through a telescope
Lavender haunted you, so I could
Only laugh in yellow.

You had a liquid fire
made of genius, subtlety,
you stripped through the pain
that had me guilty

I know I'm pitiful but I won't do it again
This time I'll be my own best friend
And I'll take my vagabond songs
and my poetry
This time I won't be so easy to read and I'll

I'll never trust my pink fleshy heart
I'll never trust my pink fleshy heart
to a carnivore
