Empty Chests & Dying Breaths
I haven’t cried since
 The middle of May
 I haven’t screamed 
 Since the end of June
 I didn’t cry
 Because I was busy livin’ life
 I couldn’t scream
 Because my chest was empty
 No beating heart
 Only a frozen clump of blood
 No expanding lungs
 Only CO2 and sighs
 My skin is red and yellow
 When you say its porcelain 
 My eyes a blue-black
 When you say they’re the sky
 Opposite my frozen clump of blood
 Is your literally broken heart
 Opposite my CO2 and sighs
 Is your laughter and cool breath
 You can easily confuse me
 And it makes me almost cry
 You can easily manipulate me
 And it makes me smile plastically 
 I worry about death
 You worry about sex
 I worry about you
 Do you worry about me, too?
 
 Don’t answer that.
