Us in the forest
Is this what you wanted?
No, we’re not bottomless
You take what we guarded
And in that well we dug
Is this why we thirst?
Do we just hang around,
Waiting to be dispersed?
Standing at ten years tall
No wall for my head
Waiting for someone else
To tell me something good instead
Standing at fifteen years
Needing the truth
Realizing then at once
It didn’t come from you
Watching you push her
Out of our door
Knowing all too well
She was living out your curse
The one that you manifest
In your flesh and blood
Teach us to throw a fit
When we’re not taken care of
I know it’s not heavenly
But sometimes it’s easy
Know that it’s hard to breathe
When you’re looking at the enemy
I know it’s not holy
But sometimes that’s me
I know that I’m not so holy
But sometimes I’m me
I always feared that this woodsman in your mind
Would come and chop our trees right down
21 years and after all this time,
He has not come around

No One Can

And she opened the blackout curtains
And bathed in the light
She had a dozen messages
Like, “are you alright?”
Like a curse on her head, she uttered to herself, some tune she whispered in her room as a kid, every second
And in her heart of hearts, her ghost of ghosts, she knew every word like a friend
And she says,
"No one can, no one can know
Know me"
She never wakes up with a sound
Only with her body clock
She never wakes up with a sound
Only when her mind rocks back and forth
Some vision in her head that she never wanted
Vision in her head that she never asked for
And she’s shaking, she’s shaking now
She’s shaking wake the man in the bed
She’s shaking for the man in the bed with her
And she says,
“No one can, no one can know
Know me”
