umbilical cord
I know you love me, and it's all love
But I had to rip this umbilical cord
it got around my neck
I was about to choke
One of the circumstances that make you be who you are,
or is it rather
the circumstances were because of who I am?
I know you love me, can't say I don't
but it intoxicates, bye dear, I had to wave
In our distance, we became close
we look so nice in our worlds...
my world feels like it can breathe on its own
only intersecting in times odd
I love you, but we have to coexist
never to share our cores
Yet your umbilical cord
will buy me the freedom I need,
not want.
Your umbilical cord, will serve a purpose
Eviscerating eyes, II
"Your eviscerating, loving stare"...
and I can feel something tear -
it's my certainty, it's my reality,
(the very things I see
they clash with thee!)
You are good, but you are a threat!
You cut me - and you want to help
My eyeballs possessed by your mental state!
It's a outside voice inside my head
For years, for years - trying to break free
I had your ugly eyes fixed over mine!
I always knew they weren't right
but for a second they got attached -
The eyes of the world - so unknown
your eyes tend to interpret what they don't know
Their eyes - always hurt a lot
because they're yours, and they also rot!
Rot my heart and my thoughts
But you are good, you are there too
how can love make you feel so low?
I ...

Jorge
now we are there
Jorge
how hungry I was then!
Your sweet veiny arms
those wandering brown eyes
those brains, I wanted to drown
in them
your depth, that bloody depth!
You made me laugh through pain
You sucked me in because
I wanted to be you, not yours
And now, in fact, I am not yours at all
because I am a woman of my own
You were beautiful, though.
I always fell for beauty, you know
