Big Arms from Forest / Trees by Long Neck

I've got
big arms.
They used to hold you.
But not anymore

I've got
big feet.
They used to walk to your house.
But not anymore.

I've got
a big mouth.
It used to say things
I don't mean anymore.

Stagnant and shrinking and mind overthinking
How long have I not been breathing?
You, you were just there. I blinked, that's all, I swear
What am I supposed to be dealing with?

I've got
big ankles.
They click about
as I walk away.

I've got
big eyes.
They used to look in a mirror
just so I could say:

"These are angles sorely lacking
and a smile that needs cracking.
This body needs some tacking
and this brain needs some racking."

Stagnant and shrinking and mind overthinking
How long have you not been breathing?
Your shadow stops following, you find yourself bawling
and hoping that he starts calling soon.

I've got
big arms.
They used to hold on
but not anymore.
