I get fritty when I set next to you
Proximity wakes up my little goosebumps the way
One's closing index agitates the tip of their nose
A mixture of anticipation and ire
It's better than sitting opposite of you
Since I could talk for hours without having to
Look you in the face, truth is
I've been avoiding your gaze for the longest while
But it feels like your non obtrusive peers of curiosity though
So benign, still pierce
Into my side and I get conscious of my own voice
That I forget to align the words
I could tell no lies, even when I intend to whip the truth
So beautifully on the crust of affectation
I used to do this when I was bored but I
Never thought that I would swallow a dose
Of my own medicine, served so abstracted of ulterior motives
I've never noticed a disruption in your rhythm when I flung
My stones of curiosity, white noise buzzes in my head
As I try to guard up my kingdom against yours
In time I realized it's because you were hiding in plain sight
When I've been running away, all my life
Until I hit the mute wall of realization; as if
It sprung out of echoes and not bricks
Life is brief, full of flickering embers of
Laughter and sorrow, evasive
Like smoke
Colorful smoke ejected from all the planes
Dancing grandiosely along the coast line on Martyr's Day
Smoke and anarchy and
Disenchantment.
Your silence is as loud as the yellow of the sun and you
Don't seem to mind being misunderstood for lack of an explanation
It's such a drag isn't ? being demanded to unbolt the doors
When you don't intend to leave your skin
I've read a lot about your kind, men that bask in a solemnity
Of sorts, they never lower their buckets
Into the well in which they drown their impressions
Of the world
And it is quite unsettling, when you giggle in a summoned
Earnestness and it sounds like the flaps
Of a restless dove in the heat of siesta
I know that you are hiding all the cynicism of
Your past life that yet dwells in the crevices of your
Laughter lines
I don't remember who told me that
But those that laugh more than they speak
Often have so much to cry about.
