Eccentricities,
Individuality,
Burn them out of me.
Eccentricities,
Individuality,
Burn them out of me.
I’ll do what I’m told.
I’ll meet your expectations.
You’ll never know me.
May I wait to take
This step till I am cleansed of
Selfishness and pride
You betray me by
Reflex, and I forgive you
By the same, again
It’s only a grift
You catch feelings, and she just
Covets your wallet
I don’t want to be
Alone. But, I don’t want to
Be alone with you.
What do they call it
When you’re not dead but not live
The gray waiting place
Paradise I gave
You; you call it hell. You took
My secrets and told
The world. Now I
Waste away beneath the ground;
Your satisfaction.
We entrusted each
Other with our unloved selves.
Love’s arc descended,
And we extracted
Blood in proportion to each
Prior sweet caress
