Time zoomed by
left behind a smoking trail
and skidmarks only I could see
Nobody cared when I said
I’d been a victim of a drive-by shooting,
Love in the driver’s seat
So I stemmed my bleeding with paper
Turned poetry into paper planes
And sent them flying everywhere I saw the rogues appear
One of these days,
One of them will find its mark
And bring my perpetrators to justice.
Meet me in my dreamsBecause that’s the only place I’ll let you existTell me anything you like, your silliest moments, your heartfelt desiresI’ll do my best to make them trueAnd we’ll live through fantasy The next morning, when I wake up in my worldAnd you in yoursDon’t try to hold…
You wouldn’t recognise desirein the emptiness in your mouthmaking way for wordsthat your stomach is already breaking down You wouldn’t know desire if it licked youYou think it’s meant to kick & clawNot snuggle between your cellsBreathing the quiet places between people You wouldn’t trust desireEven if you laid bare…
