Tuning me out;
turn the television on.
Lay back on soft,
imported cushions.
Turning me off,
turn my vision on.
Maybe we’re not
as wrong as we thought,
maybe it’s something more.
I ask
and you defy.
Then you ask
and I deny.
Both half crucified,
begging for a sacrifice.
I’d lay down my life today,
you’ve laid yours down many times.
Push yourself away from me.
We’re going out of our minds,
trying to meet in the middle
of nowhere.
Let’s go somewhere,
beautiful.
I feel the cold hands
of negativity
reaching for my neck
and I can’t let it
pull me down.
I hope you bring
your favorite dress.
I’ll wear that
shirt you like.
Let’s get out of here.
Let’s escape into the night.
Stroke my arm,
I touch your face,
hands in your hair,
I can’t erase
this fire that burns
inside for you;
now we are one,
where we were two.
Limbs and lips
and spirits intertwined.
We get on each other’s nerves
and lose our fucking minds.
Sometimes,
we just need to get there,
go somewhere
and quit meeting in the middle
of nowhere.
