i wont name this
this pain in my pinky needs to end
i try to pretend it is my close friend
in effort to make it a pleasant sensation
but this pain just returns, again and again
the well's gone dry, for the time being
until some rain comes to feed our stream
a build up of thoughts causes a down pour
but some of the best writing comes in a storm
this tongue of mine is feeling so dry
perhaps it relates to my recent stint crying
this skin of mine is covered in oil and looks pale
and I can taste garden soil when I bite my fingernails
this depression is born from my let down expectations
because my heart wants what's not there from a certain person
there's no one who deserves to carry the blame
for another man, woman, or children's sin
sins which only exist
when they're believed in
