Look at me like a lover
Drop me like a clown.
Kill me like a bumblebee
Your feet dance into the ground.
Chalk stain my body
And draw a smile in the center.
Like a jewelry box
Break open my chest to free the glitter.
Our love is a fantasy
This loss is a reality break.
These actions are gestures
No one is burning at the stake.
This separation anxiety
Is for puppies in warm beds.
This peace is death
As cold as the thoughts in my head.
Look at me like a lover
Embrace me with unease.
FIll me with your indecision
I am on my hands and knees.
Lay claim to nothing
And hold onto that peace.
What was your possession
Has now taken ownership of me.
Kill me like a bumblebee
And then hide from me in a crowd.
I could hear your breath
Even if the music weren’t so loud.
Beat your heart faster
Fear is dark but sweet like honey.
I find absence like ecstasy
Sensational but cracked out lonely.
Chalk stain my body
This scene has been seen before.
Murder is life for a phoenix
You snuff one out to create one more.
I walk with new legs
From being a natural born paraplegic.
Gods have a whimsical view
Of making disaster beautifully strategic.
Like a jewelry box
Your confusion is my diamond ring.
I asked for a black diamond
And you gave me poetry with gangreen.
You corrupt my purity
And you sedate my naivete.
But by giving me darkness
You bring out the best in me.
Our love is a fantasy
This loss is a reality break.
These actions are only gestures
No one is burning at the stake...
Love me like a lover
Burn me like a saint.
Chalk line my body
Cover me in white paint.
Take my peace as your answer
I can live and I can wait.
A bumblebee becomes a phoenix
What is now is not tomorrow’s date.
