there is a music
to the way you
say my name
that breathes weight
and value into it
a timing that winds
will and magic
into my clock
and makes me
want to breathe
and i don't know
if it's how you
say it, how i hear it
or maybe some
forgotten memory
just gets fixed
to its beacon
beaming through
the jagged slip
and break of sea
but we're more
than two bodies
pressed into
a bed, or dropped
into shoes
we're the imprint
of creation
and its movement
through time
we are evolution
a selective physics
in earth's own dreams
and memories
has mapped our lives
each into the other's
we'd have met and fallen
in any timeline
Red and black line the edges of the table
While in the center lies treasure spoken of in fables
Knights seeking fortune add their own riches to the stack
Knowing if they succeed they’ll get it and more back
They go forth armed with club and spade
As heart and diamond they do trade
Knowing money can be lost or made
They go on and continue their raid
Money comes and money goes
There are highs and there are lows
What the end will be no one knows
I’m torn because I hate myself
But the ones who hate me are the ones
That end up dying by my hands
And the worst thing is
I kind of like it.
This feeling inside of me I can’t suppress
But I always wondered if I wanted to
The bloodcurdling screams of satisfaction
And from the inside calling
To end it all.
They aren’t missed
And in fact, they’re reviled
Who could love someone
Who tortures and lives off the misery of others
For fun?
So I fight unwillingly
An excuse to silence those
Who aren’t worthy of the live they’re given
I don’t want to destroy evil
I want to destroy for fun.
I [swear] I can barely remember
The [invincible] days of my youth.
Way [out] here on the mortal borders
The rain [always] plays [tricks] with the truth!
You say you are invincible
like the house made out of bricks
but I see you as the wizard
and you're running thin on tricks
The soul is such a fragile beast
with sinews made of glass
its promises and parchment wings
cannot be sworn to last
Collect your armor and your heart
and leave the answers where they lie
for while it's always hard to do
it's never too late to cry
through candy apple eyes
I swear her beauty never faded
her cosmos felt invincible
out of control
and always
one step away
from oblivion
but the tricks
that fell
from her
stained lips
left me
empty
I swear I’ll always be there for you-
From now until the end.
For when I get down to the core-
I really can’t pretend.
Night is day and day is night-
The cycle tricks my mind.
A friend you’ve been and a friend you’ll be-
The rest is undefined.
The bond we share is invincible-
Nothing comes between.
Our past, our present, our future-
The truth's yet to be seen.
Once we’re in, there’s no way out-
One plus one makes two.
The entire world’s beneath our feet-
Yet all I want is you.
So would you take this diamond ring
And please just say I do?
