I should have kept those fire-work kisses
to all myself;
stuffed them in a shoebox
and hid them on a shelf.
I should have left the happy endings
for the next day;
kept them in my pocket
for my personal use and play.
Well I'm sorry that I'm cold again,
sorry that I fear again,
sorry that I'm shut again,
Once again, I'm sorry.
Misdirection has landed me
a minor misconception,
which, I dread,
is the reason I fled,
from all the moments
I once wrote and read.
I'm sorry that I'm cold again,
I'm scared again,
I'm shut again,
Once again,
I'm sorry.
Impartial to favoritism
I am devoid of common mind;
my impudence arises in the astonishment
of commonplace
and what I still cease to understand.
Simplicity I begged for,
Desire I still ache for,
Love remains the one thing
that I always have a prayer for.
So sorry that I'm cold again,
scared again,
closed again,
Once again,
I'm sorry.
Mendithas, you fool,
how much we share in thought;
You've yet to learn,
I've yet to teach,
for I have not been taught.
Sin is a myth,
and pure is a pretense,
for all we have are senses.
So where are yours,
so where are mine,
where are our God-given senses?
Writers, they have no hearts,
but artists may feel for the world;
Take you in and swollow you whole,
complete in the fill of a hole.
And if you can't for once
feel nothing but bliss,
then maybe you just were
not meant for all this;
not meant to breathe,
not meant to live,
for the strongest sensation of life
comes when someone's taken your breath away.
And that's something we'll learn some day.
