i drew a cross in chalk in the cold cement
so i could show you where i found myself
and i broke a couple years ago
and i found a vice to fill the hole
please bury me within your chest
between the spaces in your ribs
home feels far away
when the only thing that keeps me calm is the
sound of shattered bones and punctured lungs
i let you carve a cross
within my chest
so you could tell us apart
and every single word i never meant
well i meant them with you
i am leaving but not tonight
i am yours for now
sleep evades me
but i'm dying to see you tonight
somewhere beneath blanket and bone
between hands, under sheets
i am broken, i am gone
i am nothing
i am broken
i am worn
i found god in the sunlight streaming through your window
and i found heaven in the space between each line on a map
i drew a cross in chalk in the cold cement
so i could show you where i lost a friend
