How's It Hurting?

Please dumb it down for me

I'm tired of playing

Pretending

I have any clue what I'm doing


What's going on?

How's it hurting?

Hands over eyes

Heart left burning


How's it going?

How's it hanging?

How are you, dear?

How's it hurting?


Drive it home

Learning, yearning

Swirling

Customizing warnings


Guttural

With primal wording

Formalities

At last deforming


Spaghettify these feelings for me

Stretching out

Of my lungs

Right out of my mouth


Down into my hands

Gut-punched and homesick

Remember a moment

I meant everything to you


Please dumb it down for me

I have no expertise

And no fucking prestige

Just pretending


I know how to breathe

Collecting these

Memories replayed like

Remedies I think


I made this one last mistake

A million times

Asking how it felt

Asking if it ever meant


Asking if we never met

If I'll ever not be sick

What's going on?

How's it going?


Hand over heart

Eyes left searching

How are you, dear?

How's it hurting?


How's It Hurting?
