the deep search
bright eyes - take it easy (love nothing)
first with your hands and then with your mouth
a downpour of sweat, damp cotton clouds
i was a fool, you were my friend
we made it happen
you took off your clothes, left on the light
you stood there so brave
you used to be shy
each feature improved, each movement refined and eyes like a showroom
now they are spreading out the blankets on the beach
that weatherman is a liar
he said it would be raining
but it is clear and blue just as far as I can see
left by the lamp, right next to the bed,
on a cartoon cat pad you scratched with a pen,
"everything is as it's always been.
this never happened.
dont take it so bad it is nothing you did.
its just once something dies - you can't make it live.
you are a beautiful boy.
youre a sweet little kid but i am a woman."
so i laid back down and wrapped myself up in the sheet
and i must have looked like a ghost because something frightened me
and since then ive been so good at vanishing
now i do as I please and lie through my teeth
someone might get hurt, but it won't be me
i should probably feel cheap but i just feel free
and a little bit empty
no it isn't so hard to get close to me
there will be no arguments
we will always agree
and ill try and be kind when i ask you to leave
well both take it easy
but if you stay too long inside my memory,
i will trap you in a song tied to a melody
and i will keep you there so you cant bother me
and some sort of surprise sadness just sneak attacked me while i was making drinks today . . . i almost cried . . . thought better of it . . . my heart hurts a little bit . . . a lot a bit . . . sans the wheatabix . . . plus the robotic . . . and theres just nothing left to do about it . . . and i guess thats all theres left to say . . . i would have put it all in the top ten . . . but then thats not very apropos for the situation . . . okay the top five . . . and maybe even the top three . . . its suddenly very stark in here . . . and im feeling pretty listless . . .
