unfind me
(the line in italics I stole from a damien rice song)
you fly high
free
but fall
landing
into misunderstanding
candidly say
that you'll never walk away
stray, front, break, take
shake beneath the echoes of my screams
seems things change quickly
unnoticed these coated beginnings
we saw as our winnings
having struggled and toiled
through loves overboiled
bubbled over and burning
memories
that sometimes fog reflections
directions of emotions get lost
in the motions trying to differentiate
yesterday and now
our loves and our hates
bow in preparation
like karate battles that don't promote violence
but work in defense
yet still encourage silence
you thought you could break these walls
and find me in the center
enter a world ravaged and dead
and still maintain some peace in your head
speak to ghosts
and grab hold of unsettled spirits
ignored the warnings you were told
about things that don't leave us
i wear bricks like garments
and they harden through 2nd cycle
a disciple of disciplined tears
that after years of denial
sometimes pile and pool and pour
over in puddles
muddle my vision and lead my next decision
this fission between us might not even be us
but i'll widen the gap just to watch it erupt
i'll welcome the lava
and smile at the burn
in desperation roll dice
to skip your next turn
watch your being deflate
when you've poured all out for me
and when you handed me mountains
i'll ask for the sea
i'll bring new definitions to crazy
watch you pad walls
anything and all to drive you away
leave you no reason to stay
deny you any opportunity
to realize and see
that love doesn't
hold on to
someone
like me
you fly high
free
but fall
landing
into misunderstanding
candidly say
that you'll never walk away
stray, front, break, take
