Time (Over You)

Missing you
No time with you
I want to love you but I want some time with you
The things you say
Make me feel okay
But the things you do
Make me want to love you
Time over you
I want to be
I want to be together
When I'm with you
I want to love forever
You know it is
I know you feel the same way
I know it's hard to say
Far too hard for me to say

Cats and cattle prods
Demolition derby demagogues
Babbling Babylon
As the discharge returns to the dog
Incompatible
Armed with proofs incontrovertible
Animosity and vertigo
From each other a mere stone’s throw
They’ve got the monopoly on love, they say
A monopoly on truth
Would be nice to know, who’ll be saved and who’ll be damned
But God won’t make up his fucking* mind
Getting nowhere, they are parallel paths you trod
When the roads diverged
The crooked demiurge up and left
“I’m not coming back”
Tighten the noose
Pray away the slack
A wafer, a couple pence
Orchestrated this sickening dissonance
One big swath and a very short fence
Just sprawling, smoldering nonsense
You better adapt, you better collude
Time is warping all of your pews
Which lives were lost, in service to the good faith
Reason won’t put us in our place
Can’t both be right, inconceivable both are wrong
But can we eschew
The believer’s brew
That’s been stewing for far too long
Spoil the broth
And spare the rod
When the good Lord comes to take us home
It’ll make tremors felt by every bone
But the fissure will only be widened
There’s no innovation in open wounds
The rift cannot be healed by the flesh
Of low-hanging fruit of the womb
It’s alright

Baby why have you gotten out I thought it all went so very well. Too long, maybe cause I'm too young. You shouldn't have waited for my time to come.
If you knew me the things that you can't see, maybe that's why you left so hastily. Closer, I knew the time was over, I knew it always was coming closer.
Baby why don't you still want me, it's something that I can't see. What do you mean to me? Baby did you ever even want me? Or was it just a little dream? One that has been so mean. Perhaps we'll have a relapse we'll get a momentary lapse of togetherness. This time we won't have to rewind, though I don't know what I would have to remind. Baby why do you try to spite me? All I did was like you. Show some fortitude. Make up? Why did we even break up? I shouldn't even wake up. My heart has found its fate now.

Backseat Serenade

December 19th, 2016: There’s one less longing heart on the interstate tonight. There’s an empty bench that will not come to life again. My crooked smile and a little piece of you left on the dashboard will give everyone a clue, but they’ll never know the chemicals or the truth. It’s called the backseat serenade: the tune of the bad boys who’ve got it made. Who could have ever thought I’d be among them? I thought love songs couldn’t lie. But I suppose honest words in pillow talk are in short supply. Perhaps a natural reaction of a caffeinated state. A dosage of dopamine that I could not…thought I could find it when we searched in empty parking lots - that was not the case, and I only found an onslaught of fears. But I fell in love with the way you fall from grace. The way that radiant smile crept across your face, and the way you finally put me in my place. Still plays on the backseat serenade. I’d come onto you through the spades, but I guess that goodnight kiss aftertaste didn’t last long enough (but I swear I tried to savor it) as every nerve ending was crushed. You’re my chemical affection, baby that is true but without chemistry, what becomes of two? You’re my cerebral affliction and I could never outsmart you. And now you’re stuck in my head like a rainbow in a zoo. Now a hundred miles between us and a lateral accord: you keep the faith, I’ll keep the distance and never assess what for. Abandoned. Bedridden. Declaring good riddance.
