The Chaos of Us

You look at me and I g e t l o s t You look lost You STAND before me in lust I lay down below you in love I talk too much.............. I l o n g for you to listen Instead I hear a DEAFENING silence You stutter a staccato.. s i g h We volunteer play pretend prisoners....... s e e k i n g To navigate stay captivated…… until Escaping through a [hidden] trap door Freedom forfeits reason and the ransom that was you and me ‘he’ stands before ‘she’ Misunderstanding “me” She lies she forgets The truth he remembers The news about us Rewinds as we watch…. You preview a forecast.... de je vous…....... Pause.. my predictions - press replay I will not harden my heart-sow the seeds to soften your soul You rescue me - I save you The danger in you deploys the safety in me And then finally you see………………………… you finally see me.....

Fantastic! Straight to my favorites. I like the chaotic way you presented the words, a frenzy of emotions. We all long to be seen. I believe I can see you.
