she wakes me up in the morning with a song on her lips
I silently pray that God will prolong her happiness
having more time to understand her motions
her eyes fix on the headboard above me
as to say, "your eyes are too harsh"
I can't look into them anyway
another moment; a day
asleep with your
soft silence
beside
me

not your choice, I'm stuck in the middle
is it perfect or is it going to ruin me?
a well known face without a clue
give me those puppy dog eyes, you do
singled out and high above
anyone else you're thinking of

I'm stolen, I am wrecked
under a sheet of electric slurs
one tap with two strokes
heart clenches and I'm at a loss
but I want nothing more than to be yours
bad place, hollow face, mind floating in another space??
too much for me to hold on to

opening one eye at a time
thinking it will all be a dream
but I see you, you're there
and everything is real

it's irreversible, I'm already roped in
recalling memories with a grin.
this could be my favorite delusion
convincing myself that we will work
when I know
we are destined
to fall.

They tell me we came from fish
Don't skip that chocolate, boy!
Only start to care when
Your money Disappears!
A fake tan and shoulders stiff
Honey, I'm better.
Jump into a commitment
shake your head, embarrass me!
I have no nostalgia
No hopes for what I once had
That might not have ever fulfilled
Sisters in grief, mother in nuclear mode
Pull me to the country
Where whales are whales are whales
Where the milk is poured before . . .
no cereal! Just lard, y'all!
Pull me down to your level
Green and Purples and Blues
Reminding me of the night that never happened
Alongside people I never knew
Singing songs I have never heard before.

you're getting way too excited, you need to ******* chill.
