Honest Innocence

Looking out the window
Raindrops falling on my face
Stunning, no?
And you were out there
So I'm taking down signs I can't erase

What do we have when we're looking at the bottom?
Fighting scenes we crashed on the pavement
Forgotten

I love the way you talk
No strings attached
The stars flew everywhere
The sky couldn't even retract
Something to separate our universe on
With no permanent knack
Slipping fingers in the dense water
Arranged elements attract

I'm just jumping from the cables
Sifting shadows in the room
Nothing is left but you
In fact, I don't want to forget
I want to keep every bit of proof
Poison scraped off my shoe
I bent down to pick it up
Something I should have enough of
But sometimes addiction is too much

What did you expect from me?
Climbing thorns and angry trees
I don't know how to say this
But I'm torn so simply
Stuck, and I need help
To get back up
You're just too much…

Now I'm standing here
Behind the door that’s shut
Shot down from the seeds
And I'm too proud to bleed
Pulling rips out of my pocket
I thought you'd like it that way

Author notes

I was singing the Beetlejuice song! I hope you like it. I mean, the poem, not the beetlejuice song...Which is a pretty creepy movie. Ahh...okay.

    OH dear what can I say that has not already been said. You know what caught me..."I'm taking down signs that I can't erase" I stopped and was like, HUH! I just thought that was wicked awesome! We always think things can't be erased, so yeah, take them down and hide them away then (but maybe that's not always the best, most healthy thing either?). Okay okay..enough with that.

    Here's my fave part:

      ^_^ Meow. (dOES THAT NOT LOOK LIKE A KITTY?!)

      Well dang. I feel like I should be getting paid here. LOL. OHHH the sign part...Hm. It kinda confused me too! Cause I sometimes I am not sure what I want to say makes sense. But you know I guess to me...as in signs like...things randomly seen by you, out of blue, pointing to the fact that it is fate...I can't get rid of them. So in turn, I take them down. HAH LIKE A NORMAL sign..Which sounds insane. I wouldn't doubt it coming from me. But I'm glad you liked it Tis always a pleaure working with you. lol.
