there’s not words in this language to properly express my apologies. (your heartbeat breathes, and it sounds like a computer)

dress

me up

make me

as pretty

as your

own. take

me down

to get all

the dust off. 

boil the tea 

until you can 

shatter my 

brain. break my

arms. wipe my

smile away.

hang me back

up. sorry it had

to be this way.

this has nothing

to do with you.

i’m so terrible.

dress me up

pretty. put me

back on display.
