I've learned this girl who loves my smile
if I cry, she dies a little
I half her and she halves me
we make eachother incomplete
I sing her songs, she writes me poems
she plants seeds and I grow pine trees
we have forests we have oceans
we never guess eachothers emotions
and when it rains, we still hang out
on a blanket under clouds
with a tree to catch the rain
and a flask to chase the cold
now there's a hole in my chest
where her head use to rest
gathering the rain it tends to swell
my shell has grew into a well
sometimes fish swim in my guts
fan their fins make me blush
they get excited when I see old friends
they feed on the small words that I say
There's this boy that I met
he is one with his breath
all I think he thinks of it
he knows whats in my stomach
when its real or I feel alone
I know he is I know he won't
a childlike empress in his furs
waiting for sebastian to speak his words
late at night, if I get scared
we will hide under my bed
hot and still he holds me
I exhale and pretend to sleep
all those pictures that I kept
are tucked away under the bed
when I'm scared I stay in the sheets
wondering who is in his heat
