Swallowed Up

I wash

My hands in time for lunch but

A Light touch

Fills me up enough

I counted one

That swallowed up the love

And left the table unsatisfied

I cried

When you got hung to dry

For all that's in my mind

I'll never understand why

We all need to try

To reach inside our minds

And find a deeper light

In the river where you drowned you're

Turning trauma into sounds

Opened up and you gave out

Something too real

Didn't know what you'd done

But you put your paint on the brush

Saw that it was made from your blood

Hurt yourself in the deal

Sky high

A world upon a wire

And in the shadow lies

A long awaited trial

We all need to break

The bread upon the plate

And I am guilty too

In the river where you drowned you're

Turning trauma into sounds

Opened up and you gave out

Something too real

Didn't know what you'd done

But you put your paint on the brush

Saw that it was made from your blood

Hurt yourself in the deal
