Ache

Are you the one that I wanted?
You turn your face to me
I'm like a pig to the slaughter
Fill my cheeks with blood
Ventriloquist tongue anoint me

Are you the one that I wanted?
You pull me underneath
Halfway underwater
Swell into a flood
Can you feel that gush

You can make your bed
I can't help myself
I keep you on my tongue
You can stage your death
Let all these possibilities hold weight
They float, they dull into an ache

You're the hole in the wall
You're the smoke come through
Your body is cold
Slow creak in the room
You can stage your death
You can watch me consume
You can break through the skin
We are a blur in the room

Am I the one that I wanted?
I resemble a surface
That you draw from a distance
Ready to be changed
And your tongue destroys me

You can make your bed
I can't help myself
I keep you on my tongue
You can stage your death
Let all these possibilities hold weight
They float, they dull into an ache

You're the hole in the wall
You're the smoke come through
Your body is cold
Slow creak in the room
You can stage your death
You can watch me consume
You can break through the skin
We are a blur
