Darling, you're a semblance of yourself
every nuance of your being's been rearranged
we need you to awaken...
awaken to who you once were
yes, yes you were flawed,
but, they were your flaws...
I can't believe you allowed them
to twist and distort your will this way
you've become brittle and weak
under all this euphoria...
baby, find that spark,
snap out of this dream state…
where is that malevolent beast hiding?
it must be foaming at the mouth
oh, let it out…
don’t become another victim of forfeit…
where is your questioning gaze?
hidden beneath that valium haze…
now, it hasn’t all been wasted
stop this being laced in generality
I knew you once for your originality…
your words were like arsenic and velvet.
God, now you’re so hollow…
hollow, and it’s sickening when you speak
I get that feeling like I’m jumping
off of a twelve story building
and when you breathe
it’s like a cold front
you leave me frozen here
at negative fahrenheit seventy-six
God, you gag me now
with your tongue spewing forth
the product of a stagnant storm…
you have the inability to provide
the fulfillment I need…
you’re like a hummingbird shell…
all the words you say
they don’t relate to anything…
you make me want to violate you
just to see if you’ll respond…
Look at what you’ve become
you canter everywhere
but once you get there
baby, you don’t care…
whatever happened to the vehement dragon
that would near combust!
at the thought of being downtrodden
albeit, the world adores you now,
it pats you on the head
and whispers glittering generalities
into your bleeding ossicles…
if you would, BUT ONCE! broaden your view
you’d see that this hallowed ground you walk upon
Is crumbling…
