I want to melt you down
And rub you like a salve into my wounds
I still have your texts
Like stigmata on my phone
And soul
Eyes peeled and grip light
Getting the jitters from a pleasing smile
Leave it when I'm bored
Like a product that I can't afford
Untethered
Nothing to tie me down
There's a stain on the carpet and
No one coming 'round
You turn your head from me
And settle into your pew
Carpet, well run dry
Born again, but who cares I'm alive
Say hello and leave
It's not like I don't appreciate it, still
It makes me heartsick
Standing here alone out in the narthex
Untethered
Nothing to tie me down
There's a stain on the carpet and
No one coming 'round
It's not beatific, but
It's sure a vision, seeing you on screen
The shape of your gaze
Pics or it didn't happen
Don't care.
O eyeless divine
Whose blindness lets you see inside
Out of frame, and out of mind
Your love is deaf, dumb, and blind
Untethered
Nothing to tie me down
There's a stain on the carpet and
No one coming 'round
