There's a point,
It's a step
Between falling and breaking and laying flat broken in pieces
There's a note you can hold
That sounds (but doesn't feel) like you're happy to be alive
She holds in it like we hold it in
Until we're too full to take in a breath
A translucent body that retracts when you reach for it,
Pained at the touch and indifferent to love,
Lays asleep to us all,
Awake to her sadness
And why does everyone seem so cruel?
How can everyone be so cruel?
If I could only stay alive long enough to stop feeling this way
