You say you don’t want my love
When I am good and drunk
It is not flattering
But when I move in sober
Like some dime store lover
It’s a waste of chattering
So I just stand on the edge
Of a way of life never lived
I am not flattery
I keep moving side to side
Never knowing where to abide
Maybe inside a hatchery
Because I am incubated
Sometimes I feel I should be sedated
So the world won’t feel me
I am so lost within you
I have no longer a clue
Of anything I should be
There have only been these times
When I am expected to rhyme
Silly words that haven’t feeling
They are placed within my head
The one place that I have dread
Like it’s an envelope for sealing
So give me a beer
I will call you when I’m there
I will call you all that you are expecting
I just want to live
You expect more than what I give
I am merely caught up in this reflecting
I know that there should be more
Than I have given the day before
But I am lost within myself
So keep those chances coming
My answers soon will be stunning
As I slide from inside this shelf
I was holding for safekeeping
No harm done within the weeping
Those tears are futile
The safety net has been released
This pain should have been eased
I will climb back up for awhile
There have been moments of discovery
As I count the beads of this rosary
Prayers through teasing lips
I just need your wanted direction
Held within some selfish affection
Words within countless quips
I am here to bring back the better days
You want to know what I have to say
I silently explain
My hands travel your tender body
Your heart listens beating intently
Your whispers so arcane
Breathless are the words of hollow forgiveness
Joyful is the sense of feeling selfishness
You and I, the same
I will slide within those bound words
Live in solitude, remain cursed
With shyness and disdain
