all things move so quickly
why don’t they stay
where i can play
this nervous little pixie
hurts far too much to fly
talking without speaking
can’t do more at this time
at least i have stuffed animals
who understand
tugging at my many strings
i don’t know where the ends meet
i find it fun to tie the knots
i’m constantly undoing
can’t remember how to sleep
can’t forget the words you said
everything’s too
overstimulating to me
and the cold's my only cradle
finding comfort in losing all my senses
just a starfish in a hugging motion
i’ll come and cling to you
you’ll do for a while
all things seems so easy
to people that are far from me
this nervous little pixie
cannot reach very high
do i say the write thing
it’s hard to tell on most days
fearing that all i know and love will leave me
how do things so pretty be so very frightening
looking in your eyes I see no galaxies
i’m hearing voices and one too many choices
i disappear into the world under my blanket
and my daymare visions get more vivid
is my chest growing or is my heart failing
what if i lost everyone i know today
where would i turn
what would i say
and all i am is sound
clouds of molten scarlet crashing into orange
i shiver when you touch me this way
i breathe so hard
everything inside is turning grey
