lying to you

it won’t be long until
you’ll have lost 
what you had found in me
so it seems
we take in all we can
and wait until we’re dying 
to think 
there might have been a better way
mindfully

Won't Be Long

i guess it is done
satisfied, but left with open palms
careless and stunted
no fruit to bear when it’s nipped in the bud

born to become one
one with the ennui and odium
from which all worries come
internalize that broken form

Upside

don't you know
that i
i wouldn't lie
for anyone else?

but oh, i
wouldn't try
to take me with you
when you go

don't you know?
that i
i wouldn't lie
for anyone else

Anyone Else

it’s the thing you wanted
until you had to face it

hand it off to me, but i
leave it on the table

now, why don’t
you tell me something perfect
i promise not to steal it

slip into a thought, but 
it doesn’t quite congeal like 
i had hoped

i love the opera, darling
part of me just hates it

i exaggerate to my
colleagues every day
but now, show me one who won’t

but when we flutter outside, you know
i’ll take all of the time you want
to shilluminate our own world

thought you’d only want me around when i was fit to show
when i drop my brain on the floor again, you let me know
anywhere that you go, i’ll go

Vegas
