Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.

Poor chap, he always loved larking
And now he’s dead
It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,
They said.

Oh, no no no, it was too cold always
(Still the dead one lay moaning)
I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning.

Not Waving But Drowning by Stevie Smith ♠ requested by mooglets

Sometimes you gotta run before you can walk.

paintedpain asked: Black Widow & Red 

It’s only a matter of time
Before all the springs in the mind
Will start to break
Like you have broken me
There’s silver in your lungs now

I feel you beating in my chest
I feel you screaming in my lungs
You are heavy but 
Your beats in time
I feel the crimson on my lips
