florida

i hurt, i hurt
i hurt, i hurt

i want to give you something beautiful

i want to give you something to soothe your wounds

i want to give you something

i hurt, i hurt
i hurt, i hurt

something pink 
something like a shock of fire

i imagine your bodies now
gray paper thin

i hurt, i hurt
i hurt, i hurt

i want to pray for you
i want to give you lavender

for your nights of banging your head against the wall
for your nights of car crashes and cold sidewalks

for your iron sharp minds
for the iron cool metal of the gun

i hurt, i hurt
i hurt, i hurt

i want to pray for you

i want to give you something beautiful

(it's not enough.)
