Little Boats


Little Boats 

 

Your name etched into my skin 

Watching it all sink in

Blood flowing like a river along the divots in my arm

 

We don’t need a home because we’ve found it

Floating along in little boats 

On the water that is the red from my arm

 

With nowhere to go

And nowhere to be

We’ll be comfortable where we are
