\"Placeholder\" Raw Freestyle

Ten days

it took to cast away

your rusty old toy.

Ten days of infatuation

to throw away our relation.

 

And noticing you 

were already gone

when I felt you slip away

left me barren as the pines

we loved to explore 

as a family.

 

The news rang out 

My chest cavity

And I hold 

my knotted guts

In my throat,

Putting pressure 

On my breath

Just like you used to.

 

For my hands 

Have still yet 

To hold someone new

And you’re already gone 

In ten days.

 

But perhaps more bodies

Between us will lead 

To more separation

And I can stop wearing

My stomach as my flesh.
