without

creeping through veins 

pressing against this skull

making increasingly hard
for her to mull

it over, for over and over

it over(comes) it overtakes 

it makes 

living near impossible, 

ripped hands

torn all the way through 

feet on fire, teeth clenching wire

electrocuted jaw

this soul, it isn't for 

hire

who let you in? 

who opened the door? 

no, it's not okay

for you to be there

from the corner of this minds eye

I can feel you stare

and I swear 

you got me 

running on empty 

you're running 

me into the ground

for now, through some kindness

I've found 

a way to share this soul 

though your tearing it apart

you're tearing holes

in every inch 

(to be without)

I've forgotten how to be

without
