Flannel for Hands

shy watson

its december

basically

im in love with you

in a hole

looking up

at the sky

this is just

something i do

in the morning

i cant leave

& at night

the energy

is up

to here

ive never 

felt this 

soft before but now

i cant touch

anything

im sorry 

so many times

i crash the car

the same wall gradually

chipping away

i am such a hornet

in the moonlight

sometimes

but you are

everything

all of the time
