Flounder

Brick

he's a
summer flounder
floating around her
hes 47
he's floating in heaven
hes a bummer
hes grounded
it feels like
he's drowning
he's skinned
he's not breathing
his heart isn't beating
but he knows
that I am

swallowed him hole
I vomit up his soul
I pick it apart
eat it so I don't starve
and i kept it down this time
I love him like he's mine
and our hearts are intertwined
a love so hard to find
feel so bad when it is gone
one day I will move on
but i know that he will not
