Wild

I realize in record time

I know I can't change

You've bent my blood

And that's enough

I know I can't change

But that's why

I need you to know

It's wild and cured

I still hear you

Up in my room

You echo up the stairs

You claw the door

And leave a mark

And then you're not there

But that's why

I need you to know

I'm trying

It's wild but they found a cure

Hold your hand

On my head

You can watch me hold the bed

And I'll pretend to be asleep

You may claim me your gold

But I'm not yours to have or hold

You take all that's left of me

But that's why

I need you to know

I'm trying

It's wild but they found a cure

In a plume of smoke

A family ghost

Shows me all her teeth

The brightest white

Like heaven's light

Planting all its seeds

I am walking through our home
