17 + forever

take your pick of my limbs

i was

choking fire from the kids

i am

overwhelmed with emotion

i will

give my blood locomotion

empty chair in the classroom

i was

bleeding out in the bathroom

do you

see me just as a figure

will you

show your friends all the pictures

17 going on forever

she was 17 going on forever

lost my will and religion

god i was but a virgin

we are wheat for the threshing

words and death coalescing

17 going on forever

she was 17 going on forever

only 17 going on forever

she was 17 going on forever
