...
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
