Minerals

My blood is made of only minerals And I scream underwater My voice runs like syrup in your veins Why do I even bother Pretending it's not you Pretending you're not him Pinpricks in my legs The rest of me is sore Drown so much it aches My lungs can practice more Who will comfort me If no one even knows my name My blood is made of only minerals And each cell is mostly lithium Mud drips from my broken fingernail In an shade of alarming burgundy Thick mess of holy water and ash I found in the hole behind my house They'll never believe me They'll never believe me They'll never believe me They'll never believe you They'll never believe me They'll never believe you
