Sap through the leaves of these ever-lasting trees My love for you floats on the soft cool breeze It floats far, it floats near, it dances through the trees And brings me down upon my bruised knees
I’m down here for you, my heart cut in two One piece for me, and another for you Mine infused red, but yours growing blue It’s oxygen-starved, with its pallid pale hue
How did I get here, and what do I fear? My knees hurt, my posture slumps and my eyes fill with tears I know you’ll never love me back, it’s futile being here These are the truths that taunt me, their veracity grows clear
But still I kneel down, and here I will stay My heart yearns and my stomach churns for yet another day She’s foolish and lives in a fantasy land, I hear everyone say But perhaps one day you’ll look at me and my devotion will hold sway
Are you okay tonight, or are you filled with fright? Was it me? Now I see, that I’ve added to your plight I told you I could be intense, it seems that forewarning was right So I’ll hold myself back from flooding you with love, I’ll do this with all of my might
Let’s go down the white road you said And down we went together We walked and walked in the beautiful snow Until one day you left me alone
It had never felt as cold as that day Everything turned hostile and grey I’m still there you know, shivering and alone And you live your life separately, to me unknown
There is no-one in the world I would like to be near right now, except for you I’m not sure how you feel about this, a meeting of just us two I want to say more, but I’ll keep this clean It’s all about the dopamine
I’d like a hit in many senses of the word Would you do this for me, would my request be heard? I know what you could bring to the table The thought of it makes me unstable
Back to the beginning, back to the primitive No thoughts, just sensations to play with And dopamine, one hit, then another I’d definitely need some time to recover
Then back to the real world My head in a swirl Reality must always be found again But we could play for a moment at least, my dopamine friend
Over-familiarity; A term I used clinically But lately I am developing some clarity That it relates to… me
And how I relate to others
I am driven somehow To reach out and out and out To people who I don’t deeply know now
Why is this?
We knew each other in the past And I wished that our knowing would last Extend to the present And the future Perhaps eternity So I continue this farce
But at what cost?
I keep you tethered Though our relationship is weathered As is my dignity And your patience And the illusion of a friendship That would naturally be severed
