Another letter to spell out my thoughts
addressed return to sender
where I'm caught
enveloped
in the present forever
I'm lost and empty
sent in this sentence
I serve sentiments
reserved to walk through
and merge with thoughts
I forgot to remember
It seems this dream
was never meant to be
since all that's left
is this silhouette I keep
Nevermind duets step in time
to this compromise
continued across the line
intertwined fluidly flirting
in seams unraveled
felt intangibly
I'd rather sleep in the cellar
of my scattered dreams
of interstellar scenes
than live the life
that exists for me
If I could breathe you in
this sigh of relief
a slice of bliss
a kiss we breathe
you'd be alive
with me inside
to leave the pressure
of the world behind
I'd close my eyes to fall asleep
finally able to rest in peace
It severs me in fires of irony
this separate piece of me
I'll never meet
admired in secret siren rings
My eyes (he's beautiful)
I see my moods
of woozy swoons in him
A silent night that screams
to ride the tides
in swooping slurs
that loop through him
My coup of words infected
to neglect me
irregular my chest beats
instead of him blessed
wings in clips of him
The scissors of misery
in blizzards of blades
incisioned to witness my vision
enslaved in nether realms
to never exist except in my grave
I'm left to live in this mystery
dismissing the ghost I chase
his figure seen in litters of letters,
rivers of measures
recorded in metaphysical lyrics
that set the board with
metaphorical spirits
I hear what I said before
I heard what I'm headed towards
The tears that I've shed before
storm back in the torrents
that I've kept in store
I bet my soul empty
on the thoughts that tempt me;
he never relents
to ever send in his frenzy
to capture my attention
and have me arrested
It's so difficult to acculturate
my role and conscious state
when he's the one
who soothes my soul
and dulls the pain
The figure of his silhouette
lingers in wisps his fingers
that seduce me, "come hither...."
My delivery met with
pictures of hypnotic rests
that lock me vexed
a fox for vixens
I'm mixed in
and lost in this vision of heaven
This bliss is forever
but it's never with me
My message is seized
with the letters I breathe
rejected and cleaved in
this deflected reflection of me.
