I am not dead already.

No one knows
Nooses made without throats
No one knows
Hearts with out halos

This is my place
To make my own
To carve seascapes
Out of check bones

So hold onto barely anything
This could be what you had in mind
Hold tight to whatever you so love
And leave the other thoughts behind

All the time you cried like you cared
Made me realize I never knew you
All the embraces that meant you tried
Showed me I’d bitten off more than I could chew

No one knows
Nooses with out bruises
No one knows
Love without excuses.

So here we are
Holding dead me
So here we are
Pretending I am not dead already.

Document our times with slit wrists and tourniquets
Please hold close to the biggest vein nearest wound, my love.
