I thrashed and thralled in the fear of love and it landed me on the cusp of this cliff kissing the edge of deep waters I am not sure I will be able to swim in.

A body of water where diving in makes me more uncomfortable than anything I have ever known - despite my hesitance, my partner? They jumped.

Now that they have dived, and are swimming and exploring... I am left uncomfortable and having to decide if this is a push for me to expand into that discomfort or if what I need is a relationship where it is only I that he is adoring.

Perhaps... I need to dance with reality -- that the dive and deep waters destablized us...which no longer nourishes me.

I stand along the cliff looking into the water - seeing my partner floating, glowing, enjoying the waves washing over him. Through him.

I want to jump- I want to dive in and be with it all.

But the cusp of the cliff has me linger on it's kiss once more.

With a sigh, I blow a kiss to the partner I know I will miss, and make my way to the car door.

I'm destabilized
and the need to reinvent myself
every night
is taking a toll.
I'm more than a little bit lost
and I would give anything
for a soft breast to rest my head
and call home.
I'm a crisis
all calm and cool
dressed like your dad after school,
all good intentions
bad etiquette.
Cronenberg on the inside,
a walking wurm when reversed
like a Yuzna flick
with better acting
but just as much soft-core ****.
My mind and soul
are bigger than this room
but its walls seem so familiar
as they suffocate me
until I am nothing more
than the sound of a keyboard.
Get with me
and I'll **** you dry
until I'm bored of your very existence.
Just witness my actions
and tell me I'm not a *****,
a liar, or the enemy of good intention.
These verses are destablized
as evident from their lack of target,
since already there's been like four of you.
Crawling on your knees,
whispering please,
we're all tied tongues
and bitten lips.
Baby, life's got a lisp
and he's been rocking it,
paying out of pocket
while stacking the deck
against us.
Cohesion is a bore,
a sloppy *****,
only functioning to keep us
whole.
Let go
of your ego
and see what you become
when there's no more limits
just live it,
a futile existence
isn't even close to the limit,
so don't you ever quit on me,
claim life is a disease,
when the only thing
that's holding you back
is staring in the mirror.

— The End —
