Poem
You walk on me like a sidewalk And write on me like chalk I go blind just seeing you talk My teeth are numb from hearing you walk I’m caught in your vision In the crosshairs of your indecision Like a shadow I’ll lead you when it’s chilly You’re a snow tiger, a white lily Letting your lips light up this city Ready to fly away like a kite when it’s windy I’m trapped well within your throwing range Surrounded by landmines and incoming grenades Your aroma ignites scented candles This fire is more than I can handle Empty beach, bare feet, and no sandals Run over me like bulls ready to trample I’m a target and you’re so insightful So let’s see how good you’re really are with that sniper rifle Plane from the beach to the lake Like a priceless vase about to break Your style is too good to be fake 6.a.m, like stolen pearls you’ve gone to sleep and I lie in your wake I’m stuck in a rut of indecision to give or take 40 million ways to die and I get bit by a charming snake In a fit of happiness we have but one life to live And you’ve given him the most precious thing you could give Angelic wings, a devilish grin, and a story with more holes than a sieve Lie to someone else who can’t tell when you fib about your sins Shut up listen, let me finish, I’ve come back again ready to win In a losing a battle to a stabbed back, busted lip, and broken chin Is this your way to raise hell when the heavens fell yesterday? And with nothing left to lose, axed back, you ask “why not wish it all away?” I didn’t think I would come back, blue and black, to a see another day where I lay betrayed Have something amazing erase my face, spit out the taste where waste remains But before you speak, and think I’m weak, let me show you something unique I never fell but stayed on my feet, having you beat by keeping the promise I made weeks ago in my speech So now you’re dead to me and I’m dead to you Do you remember what I said to you? No matter how far you are… I’m one step ahead of you
