I didn't look for you In the still frame of pictures Where we danced memory on. A calm pause, A .gif doesn't have a clue what composition Your vibrant smile had Or what fumes you exhaled down my throat. I didn't find you in the corner of Elizabeth and Mills Where we blew leaves up To dress the sky Where you said you saw dragons Breaking down the doors of a castle. "I'll save you, Princess. Hold still." In the clouds Everything was in the clouds. I always wondered when you'd float back down. I didn't look for you in that tower Where you promised to rescue me. Or that moat that you promised to cross. You'd have been here by now If self control would tie your laces, To keep you from tripping in. I'll throw you a life jacket. They whispered behind my back about The bottles you slept in And what Chemical sex your tongue was fixated on. Settle down. I have finally found you, Prince, I have become your knight. "I love you" rescue banners Could fizz in a champagne glass, Tear your throat with dramatic claws split you in half, And your tongue Was still too busy whoring itself - Hands only too ready to feel up Smooth flasks of lost identity False security Liquid impurity. You're happy to forget my name. Or settle for a whore. It's easy to believe blindness when you can convince yourself there's nothing to see.. I wish I had never found you at all. Here. I give up on knighthood. Swords are too blunt for hands That need to be rescued themselves. I want my gown back. I'll just wait in my already rusted tower. Your clouds are raining... One day you'll be found On that bridge that leads to A door you promised to walk through. One day, when you're done being inebriated with the moon To welcome sun. One day soon. If soon would only be soon. I wonder if towers disintegrate from age Bury occupants in rage with time. I reckon so. I can't float on clouds like you do I hope you know. |
