It's almost like a veil of complication and pain Has somewhat lifted off of me And I'm standing below the sheen fabric Reaching up into it And then letting my arms drop to my side.
I'm always kicking up pavement baby You tell me you got a poem for me, crazy But I ain't seen it No where to be found.
We nestle and neck Our long spines leading us up into-- Do you remember that day on set Where I gave a speech and promptly sat And went right back to work?
Your admiration and respect It's something I hunted for with A ferocious siren song Like when I stood next to you on the boat And you told me my make up was fantastical That I was fantastical.
I believe you I believe that statement most days And in there somewhere I love how I think you should and could love me I used to think Can't you see that I'm so good for you Can't you see in all my prisms I'm over here perfect for you?
The pain of that need Has somehow faded Maybe it's because I stabbed my fingers Into a styrofoam skull And I've gotten you to reply That you adore me too.
I just can't sweat anymore I try things out and I decide to try something better I hope and I want You to think of me in all the moments You don't But I'm not gonna torture myself over it Not when I've decided I could play along.
I saw you in a way I haven't before As I rode your body into the night And longed for you three times And though I want you baby I know it's also just me And my desire That's how I just am.
There's something that's powerful there You said you were so satisfied And looked away and cried Wiping away my tears while you held me In your thin frame It was only a matter of time Until someone like you showed up.
I hope that deep down In those bones you claim to be so closed off, so cold That you look on this With nothing but a multitude of immense love.
