this body


i can crack the mirror in a blink of an eye

no blood, i wonder how i changed it

so quickly, i wish i had time

 

this hair, it isn’t mine,

this eye, it isn’t mine,

this body, i wish it wasn’t mine

 

i looked so different once i fell

i’d set unethical expectation for myself

i remember love to be something devoted to i

 

the mid breeze freezes me 

i know time to be off and on,

i just want to know why i was gone so early
