Me in the Mirror

Out of reach
Floating down in the water
Make believe
Delusional like a prayer

There I lose control
Of everything that I touch
Here I'm on my own
And anything follows a path
There I lose control
Let alone that I try
Here I am alone
In my own misery

You see me reflected around
I know I'm not supposed
To see you, inaudible fount
But I know every single word

You're saying out loud:
”Loving you is my own curse”

In May I made my own
Hiding place from a box
In June you saw it break
Under the weight of discontent

And now you see me reflected around
I know I'm not supposed
To see you, inaudible fount
But I know every single word

You're saying out loud:
”Loving you is my own curse”

Quasi Whole

I accept
What you're carrying with open arms
Any movement
Any sound, any breath, any part
We observe
All the changes in the human heart
Growing out fast inside of you

Quasi whole
Too often picked unripe
A shade of old
Couldn't fool the wise
With time and space
Shape and hue would change
But at the core it might remain
The same

It feels like a tired bird
At the mercy of the winds
When down you go
Obey the new you
Just let it land you down

Quite thin the skin you have on
It's light dims behind any thought
That finds the way back into your heart
There lives the self loathing you

Quasi whole
Too often picked unripe
A shade of old
Couldn't fool the wise
With time and space
Shape and hue would change
But at the core it might remain
The same

Quite thin the skin you have on
It's light dims behind any thought
That finds the way back into your heart
There lives the self loathing you
