DAWN
Awaken the man dreaming of you
Remind him that you are here
Waiting for his hands to bless your skin
His kiss to make your heart race
His thrust to give you life
Give him a thousand reasons to never sleep again
Undress and give him one thousand more
Sometimes I try to be still, for a second
And just look at you
Though I don't see you
I see a little girl with my cheekbones and your eyes
Or a boy who will talk our ears off
I see journeys to the end of the earth
I see more confusing discussions of politics, hanging stockings, wondering why we pretend to believe in this stuff
OVERCAST
I wish that there was something that I could do
to help clear the fog between
What we see before each other
You have become a part of me
And I struggle to fathom what life is
Without you
Without knowing it
You've mastered what it takes to hurt me
And I get it
You're a man
You don't have what it takes to love me
That you try is all that I need
It's developed into a fear of psychics
They might tell me that you aren't meant for me
Let's agree that you're what I need right now
I'm frightened that the first step without you means falling
I want you to catch me
I want you to hold me
RAIN
You threw me to the wolves
And I fucked each one
Lost without you
Vultures find me
I let them have what they see
I broke skin until life streamed down my limb
Steel pierced through me
But I could still feel you
You haunt this woman
And I love you forever
I thought you protected me
But you were the monster
FOG
I'll be the reason he goes to confession
And repent for every orgasm we lost count of
I have burned my bridges to heaven
I'm going to fuck until I forget you
And won't apologize for what I've done
I am worse than numb
A stranger to my own reflection
Or have finally found myself
I have become the woman my mother protected me from
And I am the cause of my fathers heartache
I don't care
Walk around, just step over this mess
Watch the trash burn
Don't try to put me out just because you see me breathing
There are no signs of life
Who I am is self-inflicted
Convicted
Of living without restriction
Let my hair down and exist in these mistakes
Though
The only thing I've ever done wrong
Was fall in love
Low precipitation
