my capillary screams

[sewmyheartshut]

she smiled in a big way
the way a girl like that smiles
when the world is hers
and she held your eyes
out in the breeze way
down by the shore
in the lazy summer

and she pulled you in
and she bit your lip
and she made you hers
she looked deep into to you
as you lay together
quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer

but you've already lost...
when you've only had barely enough
to hang on

and she combed your hair
and she kissed your teeth
and she made you better
than you'd been before
and she told you bad things
you wished you could change
in the lazy summer

and she told you laughing
down to her core
so she would not cry
as she lay in your lap
and she said
nobody here can live forever
quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer

and you've only had enough
to barely hang on

she said no one is alone
the way you are alone
and you her held her looser
than you would've
if you ever could've known
some things tie your life together
with slender threads
and things to treasure
days like that should last and last and last

but you've already lost
when you only had barely enough of her to hang on
