you, you trace
your eyes in
permanent ink
because you want
to make your mark
on all you look upon.

and you, you drink
your own blood
from a plastic cup
because you want
to know how
your heart tastes.

and you, you say
you've given up,
you want to die,
because you want
to see if i
really cared
all this time.
