She won’t offer a lip to bite across this bloody apostrophe
Hides her tale, retreat beside her broken jaw family
Surprised her friend’s attention ghost don’t seem to leave
Writes her song upon approach for my potential touch receive
hell is this fine emotion
help isn’t on its way
infected with blind devotion
think you caught the leak to save the boat
but still it sinks beneath the waves
Float the breach like a flag and drown the peace between
Sink the full parade of proud to kill your self esteem
Her crippled smile announced this lyric lost its rhyme
She watched my back until events and allies told her it was time
this bold emotion chokes I hope will subside
my motive often jokes; “bitch, it’s here to reside”
