One day, our world is going to reverse, and
I’ll be watching; keeping you
On the edge of your seat, until it hurts.
You don’t get anywhere in this world, unless you
Know how to blend in (I know,
The glorious, decisive
Power of sin).
Couldn’t fall asleep Saturday nights.
Turning, reversing. But
Why say a life takes
Set years to be lived, when those
Faded to a dusty rose, are
Younger than we’ve ever been?
I hear you smile. I covet it
(Innocently). But there is
No way for me to follow you into this. I put
Blood under nails for you, but now the
Sun only shines through to mock us.
A kick from being too mild – I need
Levity over the light you attract.
This road is stronger than the
Others less taken; curls
Into me, not far away from me.
The sun follows you because
All plants lean that way.
Came out of my mouth and
Into the wild - can’t
Light the fire without a little noise.
Run your finger through my hair, until
The bad in you outweighs the good.
Death as a song on repeat;
Your sun isn’t rising up for a while.
Mark the dates on my calendar.
I am eating again (but only because I hate fainting).
Your voice carries.
