Casting in my mind, i skim for traces of you
Wasting my time, i drip fantasies and thoughts and
Recite all the possibilities in my head.
Every moment now is frustration; skin wrapping and suffocating
Every night is an internal journey of discovery and enlightenment:
(Tonight, i learn again the ways i am nothing)
Every thought is coupled with another,
Blocking any possibilities of forward continuity
And despite how i preach my heart,
Plague my own mind with those words pouring from my pencil,
I suffer this disease of mind,
to scare myself and waste me away.
And at the end i can safely say, i've done so much
Of all the things that matter:
Crying and praying, wanting and failing.
I wonder what you'd do, if you saw me now
What you'd think, will you feel the same?
If i stroked you, would you see me as i hope?
Fantasy:
You stirred, i refused to sit by and watch, so i ventured close.
I reached my hand out to the darkness and spoke your name.
You snapped at me- and i pulled back- and spoke your name again.
And stroked your face. And lay with you. And gazed into the black
And i said:
mine again. Together at last.
I remember every smile you've ever given me,
Every time you've ever held my hand.
Remeber how i love you.
My god , how i love you.
(We're both so locked within ourselves
That neither of us can speak.
We feel like a fucking idiot.
I'm sorry i can't be who you want me to be.)
My insect float to your skin in attraction, their blood is for you:
The midnight moths dance to your eyes
And break into fire in the sky.
But i no longer know you, and you recall me
But i'm holding where i think your Hands might be.
