easy on the eyes

i need a storage bin for my wiped out soul
my dirty, spinning mind has tumbled out of control

i've been waiting for it to hit me:
i want this. i want to be better.
but the ball swings toward my face 
and then quickly
drops away

you were the flash of sun, burning hot
gristle
strong arms, weak in the knees
now i'm left alone 
and i want it to hit me

who the fuck am i?
i thought i knew
but i realized somehow that i defined myself with you
