Not a Lot

are you not just flesh and bones?
stand under the night sky- do you not get cold?
i feel like i've said all i can and it's getting old
now isn't the time but i told you so


there's nothing left to put in words
there's nothing more than all that you heard
nothing is said and now you're hurt
thank you for grinding my face in the dirt


how can your heart beat steadily increase?
without your body becoming deceased
i cannot see how this helps in the least
so hold your breath darling, and do not speak
