Like Grapefruit

There I am. beneath it all. why do I hide?

what have I to fear?

he lingered for a little while
until I could feel nothing but his thoughts
they stayed with me
and i’ve eaten them

Lovely as the sun creeps up from beneath the mountains
Yawning beautifully as it stretches over the horizon and kisses my face
And the clouds how they look, blushing a bright pink with darkened edges
I feel so small just then
A speck in the universe

your complexity, I find appealing
you’ll lean on me
yes, lean on me

I’d like to hear your thoughts
speak them out loud
and i’ll listen, I will listen
come with me
tell me everything…

In a prism meant for no one
could understand depression
The longing for escape
then I found you on the ground..

Guarded from moral values
The obsession of your talking
longing for attraction
wanting of sexual arousal
The realization that I don’t belong here
the sinking of my ship

I wonder if the ground has taken me whole
Down into the dark where insects they reign
How the shadows drag along the walls and I’ve pleaded with day to stay awake
And I’m wide awake at night
Wide awake with much to say
The days blend into each other
Everyday is the same
Except that you’re standing on my neck and you are smiling like you did when we first met

Shadows cast along the ground
Stained with food and bits of trash
Wind blows strong against my face
My hair stands still and does a dance
I close my eyes and rest awhile
Feeling a chill go up my spine
