I’m disappointed by the parallel motion of the world;
While my eardrums are pounded by your name inside my head,
The stars move neither further nor closer, so I choose to think less.
I never saw the changes you would make,
like this:
Disarming your emotions after a butterfly kiss,
So at least something is dead;
Though I still think like the best, chiseled and perfect,
Fully armed and emotionally cognizant,
I pretend,
Wishing for stereos on arms in front of apartment windows,
Your heart beating closer to mine while the music flows.
But this is not my home,
Which means I’m swimming in something I’ve never believed,
Reaching for a savior while yesterday makes me bleed:
With blood being sucked into the liquid, and then nothing else,
Until eventually I’m swimming inside myself.
In retrospect I’m a fool for enticing justice to cooperate:
While I strayed from my will, I thought it would still fulfill fate,
And in this effort I lied,
I felt paralyzed and vilified,
Until I let everything disappear,
Realizing finally that justice is fair;
Even in spite of cultivating tears,
And arranging a marriage between love and fear.
