Bones

The size, the shape

The struggle to breathe

The knowing that this has to be

Are all too much

I'm left to grieve.





I want to bend these bones

You can't see beyond this wire

Its made of stone

And it won't expire

Because everything is rigid

And still, and empty.

All this is a part of me.





But I am full and I can't breathe

Someone bend these bones for me

I'm stuck inside

I cannot leave

Push me out

And set me free.





This vanity, my destiny

And I cannot be free

Nobody can help me leave

He didn't take a glance at me

Because there is an absence

And I'm left in misery.





I remain unchanged, unkempt,

It's all I have

There's nothing left.
