I shake I shutter
I twist
I grind you into
my fist
I never meant to
be this way
this lost
this obsessed
I never knew I had it
in me
to lose myself
in this one caress
to lose myself
in shallow
thoughts and shallow
hearts
that’s all that’s
left inside
me
where is my
pride
left behind
on someone
else’s doorstep
I shouldn’t care
I shouldn’t care
I shouldn’t care
I shouldn’t care
but I do
as I wander
through these
shallow waters
looking for you
looking for you
