Jewelia

Highrise

Praying for god with tannins and tear drops

I tapped on my thighs and found myself face down on the tenth floor

Inner windows of my heart, naturally it includes spreading my legs

Like opening cut flowers, the petals more weightless

We don’t know how to ask for help when we’re alive

Death reminds us how not to desire it

What was never there or known, my life at all,

Couldn’t of ever been on the tip of my tongue, or the eye of my fantasies

I was far below and above the floors

Impenetrable marrow, or so I thought, a lifeforce in time

Wishing to be the light in someone’s eyes

Something knew I was there, it said to leave her standing alone

Turn the car around

Come back, or don’t I would have finally found someone new to take care of me

Or cupped in the hands of death

I could be noticed finally, for how small I am.
