do you think me?

...

youre in the walls of my mind tonite, echoing

reminding how ive misplaced me

youre not here but youve always been there

when noone else could see the words move fluidly

because when my speeding imagination snuffs my sanity

& i willnot, cannot trust you or every other soul

im still going to blame you for my piece'd up heart

but darling red, ill still love you with my whole

& when ive designed lavender walls blue-sky high

blacking out every sliver of silver moonlight

when the winds of a cold mouth sting me

& i still dont start to want to fight

when i let go, tumbling into the pit of it all

& the thick sands dance atop my head

when i know my spine needs to curve straight for us

but i would rather just float down in numbness instead

when steps of smiling while breathing is just too much to do

& this panther inside human clothes wont stand on her own

exhausting to bits & pieces of a purple poetic mess

i hope its in your mind to carry me back home
