"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)"

sunset
glowed glistened glittered
the
color of
dark red burgundy wine
where
my
soul
suspended
between
earth and sky
once more

I exist near nowhere
floating,  detached
arms outstretched
can't quite grasp
the parameters
of your perception
borne of my own
cognitive deception
dissonant resonance
of different frequencies
than what I perceive

I don't wanna live anymore
I'll drive fast and turn hard
Play with fire in the dark
Spin knives between my fingers hoping I slip and slice open my wrist

She wants me to live though.
So I'll climb the tallest mountains for her
I'll do anything to secure happiness in those beautiful gold and green eyes anything to see her beautiful crooked smile
I'll do what it takes if only for her
I'll live
