Ribs - Corpus

Terrified of open eyes

I wish myself apart

Anyway

The distance aint that hard

It dampens something new

Predation, I’m engorged

Anyway

A world of second guesses

I’m a mess, I get it

I pay my debts and pass by

Terrified you won’t come down

What if we stay like this, stay like this

Motionless

I feel you burn against my palm

I’m calm

Hold onto cold lent,

Grasp at my strings end,

Lucidly,

Watch me unravel,

As I pace sombrely,

Stay for me,

Soft air of your calm,

Deep hues of your rage,

Predatory,

Streaming with old pain,

Confidently porous,

Let me fall in love.

On a silver road there’s nothing underneath

Pull over, I’ll let you feel me

I want that too

I’m horrified of failing

Not meek enough to mind

Don’t mind it’s so misleading

I’m leading, I don’t mind

I can see my ribs

It’s nothing new

There never was much of me

So kiss my weak, embrace my fragile

My fragile shell, my flesh and bone

Terrified you won’t come down

What if we stay like this, stay

like this

Motionless

I feel you burn against my palm

I’m calm
