driven beyond
I’m trying to be, so let me see...
I’ve found out what I came for...
unwanted ...
let me dig .. let me plow..
in a bottom-free land..
in your dreams, I swam to explore you ..
in a deep ocean of green..
the grassy green you slept on
but the dream was anything
but safe to venture into ...
Excluded from your circle of friends..
in my initiation,
I remember the day I let you play with everything
and it wasn’t what you wanted,
you controlled yourself as you say...
but I could read the fear in your eyes
of losing your will to the cause of your deception
but sometimes looks have two meanings
it’s nothing more than changing dials
from color to black and white
setting my days into cold, cold chapters
and a heart that ponders beneath my skin
into a senseless machine....
----------------
Everything feels the same as you left it, motionless..
it’s soothing to feel numb, complex-ed.. unclear..
somewhat happy that you’ve touched me..
when I’m envied about my state..
I wish my friends knew my shock ...
I wish I could tell them how deranged it is
to dream about you,
we live with what we know
and dreams are sometimes misleading....
