"True" Love
I'd like it if you
Untucked half your shirt
And buttoned your tie up to your chin.
I'd prefer you walk sideways
And only step on the red tiles
Making sure to dodge the anthills.
And, oh, it'd be so nice
If you'd slap me around a bit
Beat me down with your unrelenting stares
And lead me by my ear to wash my mouth with soap.
Pour hot oil on my head
Drain it down the crevace in my spine
This chasm you've created
Peeling back my fingernails
And pulling at my hair.
I want to play this game
And you'll win by default
I've learned not to care
Through a series of lessons
Cynical in nature.
I've grown to admire
That sinister smile
Your list of shortcomings
Is surprisingly long
Tie your shoelace around my finger
And I'll turn blue for you
I'd bat my eyelashes
While I burned
If I didn't have to squint.
Well...yeah. I don't know what this is. Nonsense perhaps? It's very likely. I feel void-y. I wish I could draw, or write, or paint something decent. I can't even take a good photo of late.
Anyway, my favorite line of this..."thing" is "Tie your shoelace around my finger and I'll turn blue for you." I don't even know what that shit means, but I'm pretty sure it's something ironic and beautiful. Sinister and sweet. Does anyone want to play Barbies?
