C Section

Come and open me up

I don’t know where I am

I don’t know where anything is

Come and get me

The ripping open of me

Catapult me crying

Incision, inside her

Size her up

Where’s my choice in the matter?

I want what’s mine

What the coat’s hanging on

Anyway you slice it

Slice me open

I think we got it all wrong

Where do you

Where do you get off

You feel alone

I know you feel alone

With me inside

You feel alone

With me inside of you

I only see what I want

What I want to see

Life is full of little surprises

Manageable

Catastrophe

Once you let go

Carried off, carted away

Cursed, curtailed

You catapult shit like wet autumn leaves

You catapult shit like wet autumn leaves

The fear alone

Of being alone

Never subsides

The fear alone of not living what others call lives

We only see what we want

What we want to see

And now you’ve taken from me

Lied to about safety

Stolen from safe keeping

You don’t feel alive

You don’t feel alive

I know you feel alone

How far along am I

I know the fear alone

Existed well before the twinkle in the eyes

The world moans with no one to say goodnight

Now you’re captured in time

Stolen from safety

Lied to about safe keeping

You think this is a lie

You know the outcome

Before it began

You can’t stop it now

The avalanche

Let it fall

Bottom of the sea

Careen over the edge

As far as I can see

This is your only life

This is your only life
