\non my hands
\nthat I could see straight through.
\nI told him I believed
\nthat I was dying.
\nI told him there are times
\nwhere I lose feeling
\nin my bones
\nlike they are no longer there,
\nlike I am no longer there
\nto carry my body.
\nI told him nothing
\nfeels right
\nbrushed against my fingers.
\nI told him my hands
\nare always throbbing.
\nI told him living
\nhas become harder with age
\nwhen I know
\nI am lying.
\nAnd each time he has whispered:
\nlet me wrap your future<\/em>
\n In a veil of gold.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nby the weight of chains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
