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.....
