The sounds of your mouth rattle my brain
Hollow me out
Marbles tracing a jittery pendulum
Across concave metal
Hollow me in

Should I fall in love with him?
Should I not fall in love with him?

Scared Scarred
Scarred Scared

Insert my fingers into your shoe
Pull you out
Pry suede from cotton lick your ankle
Rest my nose on the ball of your foot
Pull you in

Should I fall in love with him?
Should I not fall in love with him?

Scarred Scared
Scared Sacred
