"Miss, I got what I really went for"
by @lucy-tonic
At the moment of choice
I faltered
Now there needs to be a sacrifice
At their altar
But before I go
Headfirst into the unknown
I need you to see
The true colors of me
You knew I was sensitive
To the threats in the cafeteria
But do you realize
We were all once bacteria?
I'll take the blame
For how I've made you hurt
But is it my fault that I haven't evolved
Past my time as a bug in the dirt?
I know your heart burns
And suicides need revenge
They shouldn't reside next to the daily weather
They should be mystically erected like Stonehenge
I know you feel like all the pain
Is on your side of the fence
I'm just going with my gut here
I'm just trying to make sense
I have a feeling I met her once
In a hostile, sterile place
Don't remember what I said to her
But in those walls, I let no one into my true head space
I have birthmarks on my ears
And when I was young, I stepped on a toad
One could be a sign of something miraculous
One could be a sign of a wicked, wretched road
I know your people value the color red
I know you protect those with wings
But like Saint Augustine said,
All birds have their origins in the sea
I know you cast your spells
While I say my prayers
Magic and religion were once one
Till divided on a truth or dare
The soul of the world is nourished
By happiness, sadness and envy
Our desires came from the Universal Soul
Even if they caused a frenzy
Even though Lisa said it didn't matter
I have one last thing to say before I'm done
The soul of the one you love is everywhere around you
Even if Earth is the third planet from the sun
(ALL THINGS ARE ONE)
