I was wondering if
You remembered when I showed you
All around
My room of prisms
All my objects that shone
Brightly like the moon
As I painted and whistled
Along the lines of my cocoon?

You become a distant memory now
As days and hours and minutes
Seconds chirp and pass on by
I've taken a beating
Since you showed up at my door
I dressed in all black
Like I thought you'd like
I wonder how it all goes.

Its always painful to watch someone go
The possibility of new love
Once again
Reaches for my name.

I want someone generous
Effervescent
Kindly sincere
With a heart full of roses
And a real love for wine.

I feel like I've been just scratching off numbers
The world told me I'd have to kiss a bunch of frogs
So many of them disguised among the wood
Hopping away just enough
To be seen and not seen.

I wonder if you think on me
And the prisms
How we gazed at them
The reflections beckoning us
I finish the movie we made together now
Without you
And its given me confidence
Its given me a new sense of purpose.

I create a barrier
With the prisms that were always mine
Between the ***** lake
I swam through and to
To try and persuade you to surrender
I was never not enough

You just longed to not love.
