I need something
beautiful.
The pain in my head
just won’t go away.
I’m waiting
for the drugs to kick in,
but they don’t want
to come out and play.
Woke up this morning
and took up my war
with the sky.
Didn’t win anything,
but I didn’t die.
So, I guess
we’ll go again
some other time.
I need something special,
the days are getting light.
I’m going on again
about things
that trigger
my mind.
Conversations going down,
I do my best as a fly.
Take it in,
digestion from the outside.
What’s it going to take
to get me to bite?
I need something actual,
virtual life
is just an imprisoned eye.
I’m not alive
if I can’t feel the cold,
or fold myself up and hide.
Cover of sorrow
to make the day alright.
I just borrow
another outstanding sign.
Fading away
is like a cursor blinking.
See me,
but I’m not interacting.
I need something,
something lasting.
