I used to know you
Paper white thighs
And hand me down
Lullabies.
You runner
Burdened by confined space
Does it bother you?
To carry this weight,
Of a time.
When it was too strong,
In the summertime.
You are my broken down memory.
Asked you to slow down,
Cause dinner is ready soon,
But your hunger is
Too big for this meal.
So you’ll swallow
The rest of the sky,
Till there’s nothing left,
But your lullaby.
I used to know you
Paper white thighs
And the way you live
Comfort and lies.
You runner
Burdened by confined space,
Could have warned me,
You hated this place.
I was so followed
Down long avenues,
That one day,
I’d end up like you.
