Parallel personalities
a man that can make you laugh through his belly flops on warm water across acres of rice fields
Or someone who gives so much he no longer bleeds
He is poor because of his giving his left empty, dried out .. imagine how his veins feel as the pleasantly crack open to the feeling of other being content

Now imagine this man turned
As if a demon possesses him , or as if he has had a psychotic break
How could something so alluring turn into something you fear so much little girl
Look at me you coward , you can’t can you?
You’re weak at the knees as your caps are heavy with disappointment
You tell others not to hope but inside you it glimmers for the euphoria to stick
For him to hold your mum , ( she’s yours again ) and kiss her quietly and loudly to make it known that she’s his

But now his run away in the streets to his doctor to get his vitamins or cup of tea or maybe for a massage where his throughly moisturized .
Just to be away from what is good
He runs from what’s good
Because he self destructs
3,2,1
Becareful babe his explosion can hurt you unless you run ...

Run fast and run far
Into your safety
To you warm bed where the kindest hands touch your spine it sounds quite basic but you’re too mighty to describe with words
You send me to a plain where all I experience is safety
Thank you for securing me
Thank you for loving me
I can feel your fingerprints indenting onto my cheeks I love how you touch my skin as if it’s silk
I know how you obsess over how things feel
I can smell you come closer
Devour me
Make my blood warm
Make me flow
I am yours
You are mine
I will hold you until you stop shaking until you are nothing but raw in my arms
I will make sure my palms are covered in lavender so that you feel soothness
I want to love you so hard you pull your hair out
I want to love you until you melt and become intertwined with me
You are light
Shining through the leaves
( my favorite sight when I’m sad )
I watch you glimmer through the green as I sit on the floor and watch you in awe
You have absorbed me
Taken me whole
I love you forever , I am bind to your soul until time will stand still
Goodbye for now safety
I’ll see you again when my hands touch paper and you will live and dance and glide slowly across the pages like the dancers I like to watch
