dripping flower petals fall
to the earth and continue their trek down
into the arms of a man, a man who knows
nothing of worship or sin, and contiues to be impressed
by all who see what is beneath.
and i come forward with my sword, pluck
a flower, and it follows me home.
it’s so unlike me to have such things, yet this
inspires me more so than what other dregs have brought,
and i’ll continue with this until the next sun rises, and the
moon becomes
whole
and forever i will wait for you
to never follow what is believed,
and never to allow you deeper than you get, because i lock
myself
in a cage,
a self built cage.
please don’t open it, for the mothers
and fathers
do not know my secrets
and nor shall you, because i already
don’t like you, or maybe i love you,
i am never sure of
myself.
but i am with this, you are my
only love
forever to be
my only love
where are you going, walking out
the door?
i frighten you
i frighten so many.
please just stay…or do i
frighten myself.
well in fact i do, in fact that is why you
are leaving,
ah
never mind,
it was not a true hope anyway,
it was something that was never
to be
like you
like me.
like flower petals that fall along the world,
its something that i want more
than this,
something more
that what you offer.
let me go,
i shall also drip clearness like a petal.
