Bottoms Up
There’s no rocks at my bottom
They’re up in smoke
Or held as evidence
And these events set precedence
To my current residence
My bottoms a clean slate
A scratched up plate
I used in trying to relate
My fate to a blade
Because everything I touch
Is crushed
The moment it’s laid within my grasp
One-handed and blindfolded
I undid the clasp
On my pearls, cause
They clashed with my rags
But I still hold em
Let the stones roll in my palms
And reminisce of when
Your words resembled psalms
Until they fall
Slip through my fingers
Like my broken focus
Swore I had spikes drove through my hands
Til I heard the locusts
