When I try to understand,
The knots in my brain tighten just that little bit more.

I'm sorry we failed you.
r Feb 2020
It's been reoccupied.
Your house
Where you didn't begin, but where you ended.

I just can't seem to understand
the impermanence, Your impermanence.

You just left one day,
flew away
with no words, no sound, no nothing
I don't get it.

The light, oh but the light!
I can see it swinging in the window when I walk past Your house.

We can't JUST move on
They can't JUST move in.

I know, I know, I know
Life is meant to JUST go on
but you were JUST a child,
untouched, innocent.

But no - you couldn't bear it
and now another child sleeps under Your swinging light.

Roll up! Roll up!
Examine the corrupt,
the nose, hair, the olive of skin.
Dishonourable, alloyed blood.

Rub, Rub
I can't get it off.
grate, burn, scour,
I can only cleanse, gloss, polish.

Look! Come and see
the fresh, clean impurity.
Lay on the table,
sparkling shimmering.
We cannot control these sinful things.
To all my ancestors who were persecuted for their religion and ethnicity.

Happiness, in the pursuit of love
You do the maths, I'll do the laughing.

Think you know?
-think you've cracked the secret code?
You do the maths, I'll do the laughing.

When you look into someone's eye
and see yourself, don't be fooled
You are set to fail.

But when I look at someone and don't see my reflection in their soul,
I run rings around the code,
They think they have me

Grabbing all directions for a memory
How could these heart-wrenching desperate uncontrollable indescribable thoughts
Be something that is wanted?

How the ****
DO I let you run these rings around MY code?
It's not fair and I won't allow it


Happiness, in the pursuit of love
You do the maths, I'll do the laughing.

sun, moon, sea
yet your power is the strongest
the capability
is all yours to pull me under
send me down

and I hate you for that.

it's not fair that some people are inevitably unbearable,
those you have to see, have to thank
simply by the blood connection

well, I've had enough.
no more power for you
just for the sun, moon, sea

i sometimes think
that you don't care
or maybe
that you dont realise
the pain you spark
inside my soul,
but also inside the house
the sadness is in the air
and breathing is a necessity
but it's hard to keep doing that with the contamination

every inch of my blonde hair belongs to your fingertips
and every freckle on my cheeks are your eyes'
