Middle Name

apologies for all the times

I cared enough to bleed,

and wet the blanket,

make the night colder,

but I've never been good

at this.

it's always less disappointing

to those that never learned

my middle name.

I suppose the secrets out,

truth is spilled from

the vein of reality,

the beats are weak now,

but I still have enough

pressure in my blood

to wait for,

hoping that I wake

from all I've ever been.

in time you'll see,

this is all I have.
