You seem so harmless
you lie so quiet
but your skin is warm less
diseased with a serpent's scale
your cold so hidden
by the fire in your eyes
your skin so pale
i want to try your feelings for size
some of me
wants to reach out and kiss you
so complete and undivided
as if I've always known you
the other me
wants to reach out and find you
and take a hold
of that cold
that keeps your eyes
wandering
always searching
out of my control
some of me
wants to know all of you
wants to feed you
as if I've always meant to
the other me
takes you by the reigns
and brings you close
pulls an angry brow
as silence trickles to your toes
you seem so dark less
in your eyes you're burning
yet you are embraced by moonlight
what am i to make of you?
some of me
wants to climb under
translucent sheets
before morning hits the sky
the other me
wants nothing of you
except what you owe me,
a love re winded and unbounded
a promise we are through.
you seem so pricey
when the women come at you
and how they relax you
and respectively coax you
you are a finished puzzle
a piece of delicate china
our precious ozone layer
tomorrow's newborn child
and with this you seem so fragile
how easy i could break you
its equally just as tempting
to bring my claws right at you
so promise me
hold me one more time
let me feel this one last time
and open your window
dust off your oldest shoes
take out our first picture
and rip it in two.
