Don’t you come too close to me, I flirt with everyone And I flirt with them the same as if they were the same person. There’s no discrimination to my taste. I like to get a feel a little deeper than the skin; Assuming that I’m sure before I take a step within Is a misled method that’s led me astray. So I play a little, stir the pot To figure out just what you’ve got. You know how I love blue, but…
I feel a closeness, I don’t know to whom. When it has no form it leaves me confused. Something whispers inside and drives me deeper into The tunnel of the world where is only one. I am the character, I am every one. Outside my private room I talk to none. Inside it, I create with me A world blocked off to brutality. But outside of this sacred air I’m such a bitch, Discord between my heart and my…
I don’t want to give up my struggle, I don’t want to run out of time, I don’t want to reach the goal I’ve been trying to reach. I’ve criticized spending your life in a dream world While a dream world I have lived in, But now that the clouds are dissipating, I’d say “fuck the real world” and jump back in Because you won’t find anything here But echoes, and you set a misaim In searching the outside…
Well, by now wore off the spell and I stand in the plain. Metabolized my body the last microbe of this illness That fogged my brain and skewed my mind as it ran through each vein, But now I’ve gained immunity forever to this sickness. Well, worn off has all the spell And I stand by my lone. Looking out ahead of me I see but a vast plain. Looking back upon my life I see it was a dance I’m forced to…
King of my heart, why don’t you come to me? I’ve done acrobatics across the world, Been this and that from sea to sea, The opposite of what I was, what I never thought I’d be. King of my heart, I have constant unrest. I long to draw you to me, but you leave me powerless; I come to your wall, but find it covered in hieroglyphs. I had hours of speech prepared but when I open my mouth I cannot speak…
Right now, this is the certainty That courses through.
I feel like I close my eyes and walk into a light, But oh no that’s not what they see. Feeling doesn’t translate into what the scene looks like; Its trace is invisibility. Where can I find proof to show you That this truly is the best When this removes the need for show, For being appropriately dressed? No photographs will capture, no neighbors be impressed, No mansions will be bought from it, no…
I need something to think about while the day passes, dull Something for my mind to chew over, to keep it full. Sometimes it’s philosophy or the great things that I do, But the object my mind most often lands on is you. To all my guys, I think of you and only you all the time. To all my guys Who aren’t mine, your face is prime. Everyone takes a turn wearing the mask of the main, The emotions and…
One time that you looked at me Anchors me to memory I saw so much – how much did I make up? Do you deny, are you in pain – Did I see straight, this whole time have I been insane And imagined feelings that never did reside? From that one time stems a memory That won’t let go of me, A pothole in the past I can’t pull my foot out of, A hook on a line tuggin’ me all the time I’ve gone blind to the…
My heart is a fish swimming in the river, A little fish with a big death wish, Throwing itself all over, Looking for a hook. My heart is trying to line up The pickup sticks lying jumbled. You face may have another name; And good and bad may look the same. My heart doesn’t know one situation from another. My heart fills so many outlines with one color. My heart will always find some reason to break…
