INBETWEEN THE SEAMS

It's like walking through mud

Can you hang me on the wall like a little butterfly?
Do you feel them in your stomach whenever it's you and I?
I think, it seems, that this whole thing is a dream
There's stuffing leaking from all the gaps in-between my seams
I'm forgetting how to glow like a jar filled with fireflies
Up and down your neck as your tongue is suit and tied
She looks mortified as it just stands there and waves
Showered with the petal from the rose inside my veins

Can I be your darling, your pretty little thing?
Is there something about my smile you find so disheartening?
Your eyes are so disarming - Can you please remove my skin?
Cares and field dress me, leave my body in the bin
It's just like Wonderland, are we stuck here like Alice?
Unfamiliar hands, neck gripped just like a chalice
It looks spectacular, draped in red and gold
Blanket caterpillar, her skin decaying and cold

A dying star, with nothing to show
Stuck in the night, slowly losing it's glow
Collapsed in the car, the windows tinted with snow
(Do you think that stars get cold?)
A dying star, with nothing to show
