I’m a good girl in the worst ways Most days. Some days, I’m a bad girl in all the best way… I’m pretty good,
I find it funny That I raised myself From the cradle To the grave. I never got a chance to be a baby.
What you meant– What I meant When I said, “I love you.” What you meant to me Wasn’t what you said
Touch me for real. Touch me in your mind And all over my body With your chapped hands. Let your eyes undress me.
I wish I could tell my brother That I loved him, But the words are tight in my thro… And I’m a coward. I wish I didn’t say “thank you”
In my daydreams, I used to be an acrobat, Flying through air Into capable hands. In my dreams,
You don’t ask me to speak. You never expect my opinion. I was your second child In a runaway marriage. I suppose I loved you once,
Without you, I feel the pain. The rain seems cold now. Thunder is only evil, And the sky is bare and pale.
Twigs on fire Never linger, never flit. Their emotions stand dire To the situation that cannot be sp… Twigs on fire never see.
I don’t understand. I don’t understand the cruelty The darkness The fear This choking feeling.
You know, I miss you both Like I miss my childhood blanket That I wonder idly about.
I remember how I cried When they cut down Our tree.
I’m silently screaming Alone in the bathroom. The tears of a sinner Won’t let my fears go. I’m suddenly drowning.
Last night, all I saw was Nancy. The way she cried when I held her… Like a fleshy cradle Around her broken heart. I saw her loving me
Like Augustus, I fear oblivion When I should pass.
