I fall at the altar
My feet are bloody
I have been walking for years
I rip out my sternum
I pull open my ribcage
My heart beats
A little unsteady
It flutters
How much more open
Do you need me to be?
“If you want it badly enough
It’ll come to you”
I want it
I want it
I want it
“If you do the work
It will come to you”
I have walked for years
My feet are bloody
My heart flutters
What more
Do you want from me?
