tell me
what is on your mind tonight, dear
i see your blouse shaking
i see you making sure you
keep your legs together
while sitting on my couch
explain it the best you can, ok?
later we’ll cut into each other
like we’re dying to kill
and i’ll sink into you
and it’ll convince you
that
it’s real
it’s alright,
you’ll feel so much tonight
it’ll be worth it, but i’ll miss the light
of a new love, like
once,
when it was magical, like it was
i’m so far from who i was now
we’re all dying for someone to hurt us
but can’t say it
aloud
sigh and swoon across the room
we were both people
that neither of us knew
scream to me, from the other end.
scream
with the fear of heaven in your lungs
while i am
just so slowly drifting away
you are saying..
“run! you have to run!”
but i am not the one for you,
i am not your never-ending dream
and once i lapse out
i will not hear you scream
you are a quick dream before the morning,
an idea, before coffee, while snoring,
a lonely idea to the one
without a notepad, or pen
you are the disappointing feeling
after coming ‘round the bend
and finding only
another quiet forest, another boring day
another morning window, mute
and gray
no point in going back to sleep
so you just
lay
until your alarm clock goes off
another day
