it sounded like my name

like you were calling me home

and I thought

just once

I could stop trying so hard to breathe

but it wasn't you

it wasn't anybody

simply my mind

imagining things again

so I went

I left that place

and all the strangled hopes

that lived in it

someday

maybe

my hands will stop their slow wandering

you couldn't do it

you were too distracted with your own beauty

to claim me

I'll never know

what makes lips say yes

and bodies say no

I'll never forget

how you spit on all the things

the little girl inside of me

gave you
