It was just like Christmas, A sunny star - far in the corner of the sky Hiding as a small child, curled in a ball all tucked up and warm. The hills were decorated with evergreen eyelashes and the pounding red screen of eyelids.
It was just like a schoolgirl's daydream to fling open the car door and grasp your sunny face like the jaws of life, - you know I'd been growing out my nails ? - to feel your porcelain skin beating - to rub the delicate china scenes under my fingertips, and feel the silk robes of time gone by. Some things are breakable. I didn't know you were one.
I was young when I conjured you up, when I mixed equal parts bone-running shivers, and raised eyebrows. I shimmied across my living room and out of my nightgown, like flipping a switch, I lit up your eyes. You got me lipstick for Christmas that year. I wrapped up tired metaphors, and said - I wish I could stay. Sometimes I lie.
We started out as a quiet superstition, but I forgot to water our roots. I wanted to give you goosebumps, but I forgot they leave scars, and tiny webs married to my villainous fingertips. You were angry - red like your tie And I hid as a small child growing younger through the years: The curious case of an anemic soul hiding in the curios cabinet - you'll have seen it in theaters. Too bad we weren't a cactus.
there are too many tricks I know. I didn't realize the voice in my head could talk back. Like I said, I was young.
