I’ll relent, this situation is strange
But to understand isn’t difficult
Of each other’s minds we have cage-free range
To doubts about the other we will cull

Alone together, that’s all we will need
Others tend to intervene in our love
We will need solitude for best breeding
I promise, this I can’t be talked out of

Stop crying, this isn’t complicated
Don’t you understand the shade in his heart?!
Be grateful dear, our union is fated
Deliverance demands you do your part

Time passes, to the past you are still drawn
Don’t you realize everyone there is gone?

There is crushing weight in my hollow chest
The pain seeping to life’s every aspect
You keep telling me to just do my best
Will I ever be what you accept?

My shoulders slump, my breath is uneasy
I am but an insect in this wide world
The thought of your stare makes me queasy
Hide under a rock while I am unfurled

Too many legs tend to lead me astray
Delicate footprints, but yet too many
Crawl into your life while I should away
Too many eyes gaze at you with envy

Let me give up on seeing the sun rise
Assist me to drown in those big blue eyes

For a long time I told lies to myself
“This, like all things, will pass--resolved in peace”
Shallow and external, to me I must delve
Our brains are best when they thrive off creases

Don’t flatline, but keep the rhythm steady
All chaotic tunes are written with notes
Tune your instrument, your voice, be ready
Self expression is what keeps us afloat

See good in the world and let it seep in
Only then will you know your own justice
Walk with your demons, holy in your sin
Find truth to be free from your prejudice

And most of all, keep up contradictions
We are sustained by the spark of frictions
