I will learn how to choose water over flame
No matter how I used to melt over burns
And when I lean towards your warmth over the familiarity of the frigid ice
I promise not to lose myself in the steam
When the quicksand tries to pull me under
(as it’s only in it’s nature to suck)

I thank the lord for lonely nights
through gritted teeth and teary eyes
cause I have grown to realize

they’re better off without you

dolls don't
eat
dolls don't
sleep
dolls don't
speak

dolls wait perfectly

priceless and unowned
patient and alone

- someone take me home
