Heavy Things

Things are falling down on me
 Heavy things I could not see
 When I finally came around
 Something small would pin me down
 When I try to step aside
 I move to where they'd hoped I'd be
 Vanessa calls me on the phone
 Reminding me I'm not alone
 I fuss and quake and cavitate
 I try to speak and turn to stone
 Tilly reaches through my vest
 To do the thing that she does best
 She probes and tears my ventricles
 Steals my one remaining breath
 Things are falling down on me
 Heavy things I could not see
 When I finally came around
 Something small would pin me down
 When I try to step aside
 I move to where they'd hoped I'd be
 Stumbling as I fall from Grace
 She needs my vision to replace
 Her ailing sight throughout the night
 Leaving two holes in my face
 Mary was a friend I'd say
 'Til one summer day
 She borrowed everything I owned
 And then simply ran away,
 Things are falling down on me
 Heavy things I could not see
 When I finally came around
 Something small would pin me down
 When I try to step aside
 I move to where they'd hoped I'd be
