Animal

It hurts to realize that I don’t need you
To breathe or even survive, even if I wanted to
So all that’s left when we don’t collide is what is vital
And I’m not satisfied with the essential
I’m not animal
I’m not animal
I’m not animal
I’m not animal
So I stand and I stare at my reflection
And I glance and I glare in my usual pretentious way
My hips and my ribs and their imperfections
Are holy now knowing that’s where your head laid
And that’s not animal
That’s not animal
That’s not animal
That’s not animal
That’s not animal
That’s not animal
That’s not animal
That’s not animal
That’s not animal
