My First

Frighted by the ocean while
Comforted by stone
Yeah, I’m not so certain
If I can call this home

I guess it’s a lesson in
Loss of words again
Oh God
No more confessions
Let me skip to the end

I’m just not interested
I rather stay in bed
You wait and see instead
Tell me where it hurts
You will be my first

Rattler of my room’s blinds
What ruins them branches hide?
No, enough of destruction boy
Invite me inside

Finally, another spoke
The fragrance of their coat
Reached for my soul
And I hid inside a joke

I think something is broke
The birds now feed me bones
Man I’d laugh if I
Knew I would not choke
On my fire’s smoke

I’m just not interested
I rather stay in bed
You leaned in close and said
If you think you can
If I ever am
Prove it
Reach out
Prove it with your hands
