there’s a gnashing parasite / chewing it’s way through me now
because of you. at least that’s where i want to lie the blame at,
i haven’t felt this way in a long time. / a year ago now i was okay.
now i’m not.
your melody has invaded its way inside / and i wish i put up a fight.
those words—they’re want i long for.
a love that’s distant but residual, / it’s a reverence, a fearful dread of awe,
it’s praise and worship that my temple requires. / it’s so selfish. it’s probably who i am.
when you coo and whine, i pretend it’s for me. ✶
