you smile at me with shady eyes
but i know what you're thinking
wrapping a bike chain around loose fists
i know what you're thinking
but do you know what i am

thinking

about
the warmth i find at the corner of my lips
from the cuts at the corner of my wrists
and the wrinkles at the corner of your eyes
where you smiled,
smile

balance the umbrella on the tip of your finger
add a fishbowl, coy
no, you're not the cat in the hat
you're just bad

you smile at me with shady eyes
and take my hand, yours and mine
with the blood you've stolen from me
you know what i'm thinking
but do you know what you're doing?

wrapping gauze around the damage
and the edges of my dreams
are the edges of the cliff
i'm standing on the edge of your love

for me
thinking

you smile at me with shady eyes
and the blood and the smile
you still don't know what it means
