i wonder if i've ever
made you nervous

if my name made goosebumps
bubble on your skin

and your breath
quicken

i wonder if i've ever
made you dizzy

if you've ever felt or fallen
as i for you

Smoke & Mirror: "Self Love Gone Too Far"

Bored on the internet, so see what I find.
I'm taken back to that moment in the past
When I met the droop-eyed star and starlet.
Look what Twitter has. Their pale face framed
and recreated, pixel perfect, inundated.
Talking in circles.
Talking highly of
Your self --
Like you're above the tower seat of power,
In the clouds. You're a mental case. How
you gonna love yourself so much?

All of my former lovers are the messes they left back when.

Push Me Again, baby

pushed to the edge
I met the swords blade
with a devilish grin

I am not afraid

My darkest fear

I want to traverse the oceans on a paper boat
Raise the sails - arise, onwards!
Amongst me my trustworthy crew
To sail the waves with ease
The mighty wind kisses your face

Heaving to nearest shore - Rejoice!
I turn around

Nothing.
I float in solitude amongst the surface
Waves curl around my neck
I sputter

And all that's left
Is the sound

Of ripping paper

Smoke & Mirror: "Found the X"

The comets came down raining on a subtle day
Stony rocks, amber locks, stony eyes, and Jokes
Portland never stood as a golden neighborhood
Now it's over where I don't have any business
Back in time, when you got me to the center for
Your clandestine affair, meteorites tore through
The troposphere, made your basement glow,
When the world is never us, you want a poultice
Look underneath, you'll still find me there and

Still X and hot rock
Still X and at loss
Mess no more,
Talarah, she's dead

Still X and want you
better, Sid, want you
better, Sid, want you
better, mess no more

Cindy's dead
Binary test
Found the X
I wish I could
Say anything
helpful to you
Say anything
to help you be
golden, if we were
ever, then be golden
again

I clap for you.
Super fan.
