catch 'n' kiss

chased around the playground by the boys and their sharp teeth
rip me up to pieces if they catch me, catch me
"ring around the rosie by the toolshed," he said
kissed me on the lips and made my face red, face red
i’ll stay inside and
try not to cry
i’ve long since learned how to
keep my voice down
chased around the playground by the boys and their sharp teeth
rip me up to pieces if they catch me, catch me
punched him in the face when he grabbed my thigh, bullseye,
teacher saw me do it and now i’m the bad guy
he has me pinned
his skin’s on my skin
i want to cry out
his hand’s on my mouth
chased around the playground by the boys and their sharp teeth
rip me up to pieces if they catch me, catch me

little girl

i remember when my body felt like home,
before I realized that in this world, my body’s not my own,
little girl, supper’s waiting,
little girl, suffocating,
little girl, she laid in bed, looked up in the dark,
and said, please,
change the way I see myself,
or turn me into something else
i don’t know what I want to be,
but whoever, whatever it is,
it’s not me
i remember when the cipralex was new,
they said, it’ll help with serotonin, but the rest is up to you
little girl, stomach aching,
little girl, dizzy, shaking,
little girl, a buzzing head, looked up in the dark,
and said, please,
change the way I see myself,
or turn me into something else,
i don’t know what I want to be,
but whoever, whatever it is,
it’s not me
little girl, please stop crying
little girl, keep on trying
waiting for a far-off day,
when she’ll look at herself and she won’t have to say
change the way I see myself
or, turn me into something else
i don’t know what I want to be,
but whoever, whatever it is,
it’s not me

i'm sorry

i don't want to make you cry,
but I've been running for a real long time,
i wanted to outrun the wildfire,
but the smoke is thick now and I'm much too tired, so
i'm sorry for letting you get those scars and,
i'm sorry for the times i went too far and,
i'm sorry for taking what once was ours,
i'm sorry for blaming you
i'm sorry, i do love you
i really didn't mean to leave you there,
i started sprinting and got way too scared of,
what i might see if i turned around,
flaming trees and you there burning on the ground,
i'm sorry for letting you get those scars and,
i'm sorry for the times i went too far and,
i'm sorry for taking what once was ours,
i'm sorry for blaming you
i'm sorry, i do love you
i know you felt all alone,
when the fire burned up all your growth,
and as i ran away from you,
truth is i was burning too,
i'm sorry for letting you get those scars and,
i'm sorry for the times i went too far and,
i'm sorry for taking what once was ours,
i'm sorry for blaming you,
i'm sorry, i do love you,
i'm sorry for blaming you,
i'm sorry, i do love you.
i do love you

skylarks, turtledoves,
trees empty and dark,
high up above,
silent songs,
sad and slow,
we’ll find them someday,
picked clean by crows
magpie
unlucky friend
fly fast and maybe
we’ll meet again
someday
