home “do you use pleasure as a sedative or luxury?” if i answer you now, can it still be fun for me? If i allowed you my body, will it be in good hands? And if i ask you to change, will you understand my commands?
But can’t we just have fun?
A mundane Monday, and it’s about to pass All i gotta do is finish my work and get to class
But lord knows it can’t be Can’t be that easy
Because if it was all mine, I’d share it all Your love just feels like a prison But without the privacy It’s a grail, and it glistens and it would; for the life of me I sound sore and entitled, but it’s just that It’s for those kinds of people; they wouldn’t understand Until you switch your cards with the ones in their hand you can ask me what’s wrong, but i won’t respond You know what it is and have known for too long I could tell what you felt, cause it’s more than you and me I learn in the deep end, but forget it all out in sea
I’d **** for some place all to myself Plaster the walls with my thoughts and my colors collect all my past selves and say thanks to all of their mothers Do some work and read in all corners Make some art worthy of another meaning I want to impress someone other than myself To love somebody as if it’s for healing Because whatever else it’s for is for lovers and i wouldn’t understand Not unless you wanna tell me about it man to man All in my place I’d **** for a taste Do you think it’d make me more rounded? Would i become someone more understanding? If i give you some space, could the moon be our landing?
I’m conceived through what if’s and to dos Throw me into the wolves and I’ll lose but not without trying It couldn’t be as hard as they make it seem I dream in a room opposite of dying and i can’t remember what they’re like
sleep is the cousin of death, and my time is relative I wish i could interpret my own time, but it’s under your sedative You could say my pleasure is important, but to what extent? Does what makes me happy matter to you? Do you feel bad when i have less than you do? I wonder what goes through your head when it comes to me You see what goes through mine, it doesn’t have its own pillow It’s a guest in its own home It’s a guest and it’s all alone I thought I’d be accommodated at least I don’t even have my own sheets
The world has no obligation to make sense to you You have to make sure to treat it with the same respect Invite it into your space, and show it around and put it in its place, nail it to the ground Don’t let yourself get tossed around, especially when you got nowhere to land because people will pick you up and drop you with the same hand
love comes with a set of qualms how do you deal with them?
