Alice in Stars

by forget-me

I wish I could participate. Some people see the stars Like strings on a guitar Or rungs On a ladder But right now I see them Like steps you've taken away from me Or steps I took from you Documented their histories and positions And gave them all names. Each one With a reason~ and He Acts Like He Can't Help It and Irrationality Won So done surprising you with love music, Now I'm a talking doorknob Who will arbitrate entry, aloof and outlandish When the night sky is my glistening disembowelment It's dizzying to look at I hardly feel like plucking a heart string Or strumming an intestinal coil To serenade my sweetheart I just feel like crying a river to carry us through that stupid fucking door
