And if you walk in the door I’ll be alright even if I got nowhere to go I’ll be alright breath through it I’ve been through it over it I wanna quit maybe I could be someone who’s ok all the time keep down the volcanoes in my blood I can(‘t) deal with this suppress the lightning bolts in my head I can(‘t) deal with this and when it all just plateaus I’ll be alright army crawling through the lows I’ll be alright maybe this all goes away if I just give it time hold in the acid in my stomach before it eats through my skin feeling my lungs crumple like paper I can(‘t) deal with this

And so you skate around my head figure eights with heavy tread and like a feather in the wind the twists and turns are dizzying it takes all my focusing and you just skate around my brain carving figures in your wake so it’ll never be the same

I wrote a list of some things that maybe we could talk about as if the last few years were replaced or just crossed out like stories you’d find funny or bands I’d recommend it’s all a waste of paper cause I won’t see you again The monster’s out on maple street I can’t pretend I didn’t see how quickly you just turned away when chips were down you stole the whole tray I’ll miss the fair weather in violent rain when dark clouds broke apart from deadly rays Now that the basement has flooded the plastic’s risen to view perched on a collapsing roof with no hope of seeing you the bomb shelter you broke in to I’m stunned it showed the real you no moral no prophetic tract just a simple statement of fact you'll be thinking about how swell everything's been without me and I'll be thinking about how I wish it was 2013 when what made sense was the narrow lens that I look through it's self destructive but the truth is I miss you

It’s like you suddenly just disappeared you made it clear don’t try and find you it’s like you steered your vessel off the edge of the flat earth I once believed in you tied your bedsheets into knots bindled up all the stuff you got didn’t even leave a note wore gloves to not leave fingerprints the only trace was just the shredded picture of your face thought you would show up every now and then but every year it’s clear never again

No more inside jokes they’ve all gone up in smoke smoldering with suspension cables go on with your life I’ll try to reach the knife almost funny how I didn’t see you behind me what is it you really want and where does that road go/end I know that you blame me how else could you perceive spread the word and save your own skin sift through the decay did you fade away or was it just the top layer???

I kinda hoped that I could write something down maybe I’d step back and see a thought not jumbled verbs and nouns and I thought I could find something like a “happiness keystone” or why I chase small jolts of feelings that dissolve without taking hold as if it had a smell and feel as if the lines were bold between illusory and real like there would ever be an opportunity to be somebody else entirely I’ve been kicking around this for forever it’s not a matter of worse or better can’t stay quietly in my own chamber it’s always been this way whatever load me up with distractions drug me through the interactions sleep through the day when they let me avoid the pits by walking upstream
