I’d like to see you wither and shaking,
Strip it off, strip it down,
Show me your bones,
What lies underneath is what keeps me intrigued,

Cancel your hesitation,
Deepening exhalation,
Surround the night with your sound,

Swept by the sight of your skin rising,
Chided if it pleases,
Rousing receptors once dormant,
This complacent communication,
Implicit reverence,

Foretasted it,
Consecrated in the dark,
Before you knew,
Redolent of my minds desires,
Impetuous succession
In our venery,
Adumbrate in your advance,
Rapturous perpetuity.

Sick, sick, I’ve been lovesick too long,
I just need to be discouraged,
I don’t want to hear it.
Press on please,
Can’t let me to linger,
I won’t leave,
Stability is shaken,
Won’t return to that solid place,
I stopped breathing for a minute,
Quicken the pace,
Alarming light bulb, I keep turning off,
Don’t illuminate the truth,
My ears only hear proof to plead my case,
Guilty of never giving up,
Hope that can’t be stamped out,
A cry implacable,
Waiting for my hearts funeral.
You were the laudanum, the lullaby.

Two completely separate bits...

I feel like a bird that you can’t catch,
But you can’t be caught either,
I’ve had my hands on your wings, but you always shake them free.
Tired of being close, walking away empty handed.
You deceive me with your compliments.
Another face appears in the place I thought I’d be.
Her words are mine verbatim,
Do you disappoint her in the same way?

You’re a harlot, a harbinger of deceit,
Anxious to prove your love is above mine,
But you just proved you’re easy and cheap,
Your head is polluted, as is your taste,
Narcissistic, eager to right the indignation of attention not centered around you.
Karma is a killer,
You’re lighting the kerosene,
