For your Juliet
April 02, 2002 @ 8:21 p.m.
For Kyle and his precious Juliet.
No, she's not back yet
maybe that's for the better
maybe instead you should sit next to me
and calm your heart that's all aflutter
like asphyxiating prisoners in a cell
too confined
come and tell me what's on your mind
try to ignore the pain in my eyes
it's hurting, it'll fade, run away
blink and it's gone
a eucharistic masquerade, tell me now
What is it about her that makes you smile?
come and sit with me,
for a little while
and tell me how she delights your senses
softens the palate of your mouth
with her tongue
show me your sores and how precious they are
because you're feeling, now
because your head's a mess now
tell me how she lets you caress her now
sit down here, tell me how
she invades your dreams
No that wasn't her knock, wasn't her
breath on your lips
forget now what she made you throw away
come here now and sit
come and tell me all of it
and how I'll let you too
What eye did her tears begin in?
tell me, can you fix it?
do you like the self-effacing,
the self-deprecating?
come sit down here and tell me
how she's not like the others
how she lets you play tunes you thought
you'd never play again. come,
tell me now that her eyes dance
and how they dance just for you
ignore the knowledge in my eyes
it's there, it's gone, is it really a
big surprise I doubt her?
no matter, she's not my option
sit down and tell me about her thighs
and how their brushes up against you
are mistakes
come and see the smile I can fake
no that's not her at the window
you have to go? but we've barely started
come and sit down with me
no?
