Can I touch your heart please?

i walk

and my legs tire

i light a match

it causes a fire

i gaze out of the window

the glass smahes

i sit down

lean against a tree

i fall back it has turned to ashes

i watch the stars

they fade away

i try to exorcise the demons

but i just persuade them to stay

i go to whisper a rhyme

instead i cough my fucking guts up

i am suffocating

i try to open the door

it has jammed shut

i water the flowers

they wilt and they die



fuck



im trying to explain

but i dont know why i even try

cos all i want to ask

is when i hold her heart

why does it crack?

i only want to touch it

but i fuck up

even that simple a task.
