dramatic

Saying makes it real
i don't want to give the past a face
like i don't for you
haunter on a family tree branch

if you ask me
the whole tree could be burned

you weren't (v)

i layed my eyes on you
looking for a friend
around the pipe dreams
i found a maze
made of tears

you met me in dead ends
you touched me in open places
you painted a picture of your presence
even after years
the same repeated in fastfoward

Overlapping

I lie, I bind, I silence
myself to the ground
I touch, I attract
behaviors from the past
- I see the past in the mirror

They are both on my face
at the same time
the realities are overlapping

Childhood

I dreamed of becoming mad
I feel the Earth's spin
under my feet
after all the burning wasn't from the sauna
tomorrow's sweat was rotating in my mind
obsessively

My gaze was skewed

Tone

I write for me
I write for us
I write for everyone who hears

I'm writing about us
the weather
after the storm

You surrounded me like settled wind
you touch me like the heat of the sun
the universe is one

Hurry

I race, I wear myself out
when the silence sets I change into being transparent
I open the textbook's science page
           "here"
like you told me

I look in the mirror and see many
pieces that fling from themselves
shades line my face shut
           self-destruction
is always quiet
