Freefall
My insides are in perpetual free fall
My lungs are tight inside my ribs
My heart’s pressed up against my collarbone
and it hurts
But if it stopped, I think that would hurt worse
It’s an irrational need to know the little things
It’s a bizarre desire to paint, and I can’t paint to save my life
It’s an overwhelming urge to lay down and laugh until I cry
If there is a spiritual plane parallel to ours,
my soul wants to rest beside yours
It’s paralyzing, intoxicating, completely upside down
and I can't be sure
but I’m fairly certain it’s your fault.
