mauerbauertraurigkeit


interest fled soon after I knew all of you

 

a drill piercing ear’s flesh, then cartilage;

with blood crawling out, you gleam through bright, baby.

 

overlook my meat sack and sign your name on this line x_________

i’ll tell you more than you want to know.

i’ll show you uncomfortable, baby.

 

it’s such a pleasure to know you.

showing you every scar; does it make you want to leave?

devrions-nous commence par être amis?

this is more than what your eyes can see, baby.

 

you listened; I love that you know so much.

I hate that you know too much.

(i’ll always tell you too much – it was nice meeting you)

i won’t text you as much as I did before;

i’m glad you didn’t save my number, baby.

 

could you at least look at me while I’m talking to you?

je voulais en savoir plus sur vous.

when I’m with you, you won’t hold my hand for more than five minutes

forgive me for making this your fault, baby.

 

overlook my heart beat and erase your name from this line x________

i’ll give you the space that I forced myself to think you need.

i’ll show you comfortable, baby.

 

a band aid to my wounded flesh and cartilage;

with dried, crusted wounds, I want you to go, baby.

 

interest fled soon after you knew all of me
