Where have you gone sleep?
An old one I found at random. Feels half done, probably why I forgot it.
It's always predictable but never predicted
Logic blushes and retreats
The bold emotions are too attractive
They steal the show and bribe the critics
My critical decisions are determined by love drunk rhetoric
Hyperventilated seconds pass and
over oxygenated fairytales flourish
Then a reality check supported by a boundless respect
Each want unbound unkept
The worst sceptic my own self doubt
Outsourced memory wades in
Shallow water shallow promises
That smile makes me want to buy a bigger pool
Take the maiden voyage then never return to solid ground
No proof of purchase required
But no need my tears and spilt milk will flood my backyard
And I'll soak them up with discount cliches fished out of the bottom of the bargain bin
I'll write a thousand adjectives on a roll of toilet paper
Then watch the words bleed as they blot nervous shaving cuts
Your laugh is glued to my ears
Like an infections melody
Waking thought dusk brought
A gluttonous appetite for more obsession
Words wither still sheathed in head
Their impact extinction generating
So I fume in silence
Off the ancient skeletons in the closet generating all the fuel I need
You burn so fiercely with empathy it borders unreal
You steal away spite so violently
That it still hasn't finished licking it's wounds
I feign indifference and wait for you to acknowledge the ruse
I know who's to loose...
