I could have had you
I could have taken that heart
As you asked of anyone
Which you put such a low price on
And I could have made it a captive
I could have made you love me
So you would be safe for now
I could have laid you down gently
Where ever you would lay
And I could have made you my princess
In sparkling black
(Stay with what we know)
No more mascara tears
No more eyeliner dreams
I could have bathed you in chrisom
So you wouldn’t have to hurt anymore
We could have become skeletons together
And danced a creaking tune
Of rustic wars
And temptations
Then I could not have
But now I could
I could make you feel ..
We could have straightened together
We could have destroyed together
We could have masked together
We could have laughed a fake together
We could hide together
I could destroy you
I could have looked after you
I could have made sure you never changed
From being tainted just one last time
Fair snow that stretches
To a blinding perpetuity
Rejecting the logics
And the comfortable fit
That’s why you fit so well into me
You could have been mine
I could have owned you
I could have hugged you
I could have never let you go
I could have kissed you
Until you forgot that we lost contact
Until I forgot any other
Until we where how it is described
…just fragments
You could have rejected me
You could have gone away
You could have let me go
You could have said no
But you didn’t
And nothing happened
Nothing moved and nothing shifted
But nothing ever was
So the seconds flick by
And I stopped paying notice
I should have been paying homage
Instead I paid ignorance
And cruel silence
But you gifted me with forgiveness
I expect rejection
So this new balm stings
Just like the limp that keeps me from you
