i just stood there today
staring at the dishes
that used to be your job
your only job
but you still wouldn't do it
i wonder if i'd never said anything about them
would you just let them go until there were none
and still ignore them
you did me
i wondered what you would do if i let you come home
then told you to do the dishes
because there were none
because i've ignored them
what would you do if i let the flies in
what if i let the food grow
would you was the writhing mass of dishes
amongst the swarm of flies
would you fight them off
to do what was needed
it would be easier to poison the flies
break the dishes
throw them
You reach deep inside of me
You touch something that's never been touched before
You look into the depths of my eyes
You find something that's never been seen before
You move me in ways I never thought possible
I yearn from the very bottom of my soul to be able to move you in such a way
That you might breathe for me
That you might wake for me
That you might long for me
I tear into two desperately wanting someone to make me whole
I pray that someone might be you
But all too often prayers are answered in silence
And I want to scream from the bottom of my lungs
To the furthest reaches of the highest heavens
Find me please
Show me
Your face float before my eyes
as the last waves of sleep carry me off
Your name drifts from my lips
as I sink into the deep abyss
My passion tosses and churns deep inside
as the moon grows high
Yet as the sun rises it becomes nothing but a gentle stirring
I softly weep and gently smile
as would a tide ebb and flow
For at night I'm carried off into your arms
But by day you are torn from me
Leaving only a soft stirrng
and a distant memory
tearing apart the pieces of an empty soul
pealing it down and down like the layer of an onion
but like a great tree my layers are many
and bits of coarse flesh and droplets of blood are all you're allowed
for the savage beast inside you is no match for the depth of me
the core of my essence is beyond all reach
lost even to myself in the agonious life i face
battling demons such as yourself only weathers the skin and hardens the heart, never weakening
dying to humanity
reaching out to anything, everything, and nothing
it matter no more
i will go on being me
and you
you will go on dividing and conquering
shattering hopes and dream
You reach deep inside of me
You touch something that's never been touched before
You look into the depths of my eyes
You find something that's never been seen before
You move me in ways I never thought possible
I yearn from the very bottom of my soul to be able to move you in such a way
That you might breathe for me
That you might wake for me
That you might long for me
I tear into two desperately wanting someone to make me whole
I pray that someone might be you

you will go on dividing and conquering
shattering hopes and dream
wonders if i drifted to sleep tonight and never woke up, if i would be able to watch everyone i loved in my dreams forever. everything else is out of my reach.
