I liked you better as a picture
Wrapped safely around my neck
In your gold locket
I lie resting through my day
Lying in my silk
Aquarium, fat children
tapping on the glass
waiting for starvation
to cause my bones to wither
and the skin to tear
than as a charm
pulling me by my wrist
I am alive
But I pray for death
Your mind is perverse
Running through the ways
You can bring me out to sea
My cherished lead bracelet
I try to swim
But I’m drowning
and I wait on the ocean floor
I’m still drowning.
