it simmers beneath my skin
in my heart, my lungs, mostly my mind
it simmers there just waiting for a bigger flame
so it can burst up and boil there

it will boil beneath my skin
in my heart, my lungs, mostly my mind
and the air will slowly leave me
as it overflows, pushing outward, exploding

and my heart is now in smithereens
and my lungs are now gasping for air
as I drown in my thoughts and wonderings
until finally

i'm not there

I'm far away
under the sea
watch as I
watch as she

she glances over the edge of the bridge
locking eyes with me
she reaches her hands forward
so that maybe we can meet

she lifts one leg over
and then lifts up the other
till she's standing on the railing
still, staring at me

she nods her head
silently
acknowledging
closure
and as she jumps
she doesn't scream
just falls down
silently
silently
silently

and she will never make another sound

and as the world explodes in pain
as we both hit the ground
the boiling starts to burn
burning our house down
