Once I'm on my own two feet
It'll start to make sense
I do not want to be provided for
Anymore

How can we be when you don't let me near you
How can you wish i was near when i'm 10 minutes on foot away
How can you dream i'm on your doorstep and lock your door

So
I get it out of you at last
And it occurs to me for the first time
You search for that magical type of love
You, who are unbroken
I tell you, you are it for me

for those of us whose arms bend backwards
I see you behind the mirror
And I know you die
The moment those headphones are in

my sister is gone
and the cat is gone
and my brother is gone
and my mother's been knocked out since noon
Smothered Divine Aug 2020
I lounged on the deck with a mooched glass of ***,
Twilight chill enchanting my soul.
My stomach toiled with excitement and fear.
The sleepless night welded what I held dear
With the provoked thoughts of life if I were to
Disappear.
I will.
Then out of the blue, the trees begin to whistle.
Shake, scrape, shake, the dance of the wind.
But in this glorious scene...
Could it be?
A gentle hoot?
An owl, old as time, whispering my name in the wind.
Anyone else drawing inspiration from their favorite novels?
