Let Down

I could live in constant states
To compliment the way you seem
To sleep inside my head for days
It comes to me as great relief

Carry this with weight that feels
Like consequential make-believe
I’ve played the game of faking truths
I’ve let you take the breath from me

See me now
In a way you feel left out
I know you see me now
Helps to keep my tongue tied down

I could never bring you to your knees
Its hard enough to see
Myself between the cautionary codes
I shape to help me breathe

See me now
In a way you feel let down
I know you see me now
Helps to keep my tongue tied down
