It's when the walls come in and out of focus
That I begin to count the times I inhale

Past her boiling point
She drew nearer to the ocean
Herself merging with the waves of unconsciousness
Her lungs expanding to greater heights
In deeper places, with new people
And vibrant faces
They speaking a tongue unfamiliar
Her expression twisting with confusion
A swollen, pouted lip pressed on the apple of her cheek
As she held an even tone
Big teeth; served no purpose
For now she was awaited on by a bleak daylight
No longer any rays to smile back
But a distant grasp on the forgotten surface
The only laughter she heard was the shrilling call
Of the current between the lines
Her fingertips bruised by the turning of novel seasons
A rotation grown tired of
Because she, like myself has a tainted heart
Specks of black seep through her lingerie
But the wicked men turn a blind eye
Alas ~ I blinded the other

Her tear streaked face now damp with tears of joy
                                                                              For better, his shallow heart completed her darkest secret

From one lively moment to the next
Comes the anticipating fall
Perhaps diving, an un denied willingness to surrender  
For one golden moment, my last

I don't walk alone
My shadow is all the company I need
Guiding me through unspoken territories
Recording the lack of guilt
As if I am more than human
Transcending in time through space

Awaiting a celebration
We should all attend our own funeral
The ones whom say they love me
Never quite understood

And I watch, from a distance
Their caged shadows
As oppose to mine, soaring
High and dry

Living in leisure
Swimming through balloons
Fading in and out of consciousness
Chasing my darkest fantasy

Let's talk in person

Turn around face me
I want to see the look in your eyes
Just one of those nights
I'm as allergic to this life as I am addicted
This is love and I want out

Let's talk in person

Pucker for a champagne kiss
Buzzed into silence
Tingling in between my fingers
Their voices an alternative void
Never were a good listener

Let's talk in person

Step above you
Press my finger to your lips
Stay beneath me, you'll never be me
Flash you a smile, believe me
I mean it

Let's talk in person

Keep you on your toes
You're getting left behind
Can't fake this
