Every star has its center
With you;
You are the Anchor.

I'm sorry I'm not more obsessed with you
Sometimes Starr Jul 2023
Walk in on me
The ******* of the starlight
An everlasting feeder
He manipulates the world

A world of manipulation
Sees itself, gasping and gawking
Trying to shrug off
What my body is doing

But I cannot
And you always come to rest there,
A ghost in my eye

Like an encroaching needle
Like a soul on fire
Or like death incarnate--
Why?

We'll drape him with laurels, we'll laud him and praise him
For the work that was done had no basis or justice.

I am clearing a space in the middle of nowhere
To do nothing
While no one sings of my great success
You didn't warn me in time for the grave address

You didn't have me
She said
You just thought you did

You couldn't tell me a thing
In any context

You were always struggling
You just didn't always see it

You couldn't define victory
In time to be it.

I am a tiny brown mushroom
No,
I am an angel of death

I am a blade of grass
I am a glass of gin

He said,
Don't try and distract me
Waving his hand

I will never misgive,
For I can only disband.

The conditions, the circumstances
The setting
Has to be right
For us to succeed.

So if I ever do
It's definitely because I tried.

I think 'trying' is another word for
The last time I died
And we have to put paradise somewhere
In life.

So just lift me up
Move my limbs towards that goal
What we do inside, no one knows but us anyway
So just hold me down
I don't promise not to scream
You're as real as you are fake
You're the horror of a lifetime

You're a slippery devil--
When there's not enough,
You'll say I didn't try.

I don't wanna know how crazy I am
I don't wanna walk this road to the end
I never want to see the cycle
I never want to see the cycle

I don't wanna know that there's nothing to know
But secret nonsense in a perverse show
I don't think I speak my language
I don't think I speak our language

Now I just dissolve
I left clues but there's nothing to solve
I think it's kinda cute how you dodge
My questions
I feel so arrested
I sit here and precipitate bombs

It is what it is
You swear it's my fault but I'm in
You want to isolate a slice of this kid
I'm changing, yeah no **** I'm changing
But this is what the universe did

I don't wanna find out how
I don't wanna find out how
I think you should be leaving now
I think you should be leaving now
Title after poem ... wasn't even thinking lol
