I look at your soul
and see myself
you say softly
merciful in disguise
a confession I don't expect
no one can grasp your meaning
in the desert of our lives
pleasure precedes pain
unbroken by your law
love recasts itself in your eyes
as you remove my restraints
there is no one but us
inept except where we are concerned
our heart-shaped world reflects nothing
no mirror can replace like so
life with you
takes its toll
giving way to addiction in no time
replacing the eternal with now
you leave me
eviscerated gutted empty
throwing friction at my reflection
giving way to obsession before I know it
searching nowhere for nothing I can grasp
next?
what is clear is that I love you
sweet mistress
does that bother you?
gratify you?
or simply not matter?
urgent reminder:
love is given away, never lost
everything works this way
women wishes wisdom
everything works this way
you leave me
nothing
to hold on to
give me nothing
to cherish except dreams
until I can find my way alone
solitary silence will be all I have
until I can find my way to you
remembering will be my preserve
replace me you say
tears not withstanding
yet you make it impossible
maybe
you don't really want it this way
everything indicates such
[grasping at straws]
or does it?
[grappling with reality]
salvage yourself you say
until you can save yourself
even though it hurts
you say so many things I cannot understand
gypsy fortunetelling makes more sense
everything makes more sense
yet I listen because it is you
[hypothesis: I'm thinking with my dick]
so what?
thinking only gets me in trouble
you laugh at me
for unknown reasons
systematically using my good parts
do you love me? you ask
everytime I gain strength
unless I have to I answer
knowing the score
temporarily enlightened
eternally uneducated
senselessly in tune
karma bank empty
hell one kiss away
romantic foreplay
elegant skin
despite my best efforts
everything adds up to this:
you own me
now and then you seem to care
skin holds you to me
everything is the way it is because
you couldn't see yourself in my soul
unless I was your soul
