listen listen, it’s my heart
crying like riddles breaking free.
metaphors that carry me away
like a boat floating out to sea.
unreachable
you can’t come close
your touch too searing hot to my skin.
don’t hurt me
get away
no one, nothing, nobody is allowed in.
I float here...breathing
The water rocks me a lullaby.
the darkness envelops me,
my eyes close on the night sky.
you can call to me from the shore
if you so dare to want.
and sometimes i will hear you
and sometimes I just won’t.
because your words are nice
they sing a fine tune,
but i’ve heard them before
and they robbed my heart of room.
maybe your song can be new
full of sincerity and truth,
maybe loyalty will be your voice
and maybe I’ll believe you.
Yes it is so much effort
For one to require of you
I am too much work!
Oh yes, I believe this too!
So better that you just leave me be
Let me drift far far out to sea;
To be swallowed by the metaphors
That keep afloat the capsized soul of me.
That keep afloat the capsized soul of me.
