Moth

from All at Once by Tasha Zappala

/

lyrics

Rib bones, skin stretched thin
Heart's fluttering, under hands held close
I don't ever think I've been so sad
Don't think I've been so low
So I lean on your shoulder
I drag in all my tumbling woes

There ain't no negotiating with the seasons
There ain't no changing the path of the sun
Held your wings in my hand for troubling reasons
and I asked you to stay, I asked it'd be well only once

The walls were only made of glass, and a rock I struck
My feet were only made of sand, and the hourglass stuck
I watched you turn, sweet spine tangle nail tooth to moth
A jar I would've made you a home
But the moon, she did mock

There ain't no negotiating with the seasons
There ain't no changing the path of the sun
Held your wings in my hand for troubling reasons
and I asked you to stay, I asked it'd be well only once

A jar I would've made you a home
The moon, she did mock
