don't worry, folks... it's all part of the show...

was that
the part of
you
i am
supposed to
be careful
with?

was that
the part of
you
that is
starved for
attention?

ah, the you
you warned
me about
the you
you so
eagerly
introduced me
to
earlier today
shes very sleek
very elusive
you flashed her
tits at
me
and i
was
blinded like
so many
before me
(as you have
already
explained)
she curls
my nose and
twists my
eyes
begging me
to ignore
her
while pressing
my ear
to her chest
to prove
to me
that she is
more than what
shes telling
me she
is

the part of
you
that flirts with
tasteless hope
watching me
as i sit back
watching you
plead
your subtle case
while
trusting each
one of your
individual
words
but dismissing
them when
sewn together
sew
carelessly

but
you
truly
lose me
when
you
lie
to yourself
believing
only what
your
soulless
paperless
periodicals
tell you
how your
love
should
look

placing
faith and
achievement
in a set
of rules
created
without
your
heart in
mind

you
fear me
because
im
nothing
youve
ever read
about
im
everything
outside
of your
inverted
safety zone
and opening
any part
of yourself
to me
would mean
turning
your tiny
sheltered
world
over to
the lions…
