[Part 1]

[Verse 1]

I descry you doing so well

Daring eyes, the door, don’t it seem

That it’s time to dually dispell yourself from me?

Seem desperation’s very own get out of jail free

Send your stowaways to me

I’ll get them back on their feet

Fold up their crayon drawings and lean on a banister

And watch them leave

[Verse 2]

I feel distance in our waters

A river splitting through our land

I feed it’s fish that simply aren’t there

As they migrate ‘cause they can

Every person has a purpose

Personal universes

Put my poems in your shoebox

From my words you will divorcе them

[Verse 3]

Of the moments that thеy lust upon

Your face in every space

From the quiet meadow walks we went

Even then began the race to escape your checkpoint

Gain dominion over your opinions

When asked of your’s of me

You’ll ask to that “who’s he”?

[Verse 4]

Hold up stone etchings of fabled manticores

And roll down your sleeves

The world wounds you in the same way that the world wounds me

But you run to other courses as you bleed

I dwell my own thing on the bleachers and bleed...

[Part 2]

[Verse 5]

The way a circle never stops

And a glowing vortex forms

In your car we sat in park

Making memories we’ll mourn

Immortality’s a curse

Too much of anything can hurt

Our love with her just seems irrational

Yet with our ideas we flirt

[Verse 6]

Of knocking on her door

Taking her down to the beach

Collecting seaglass as I pant

While my eyes absorb the sea

We survived the same war

Condemn it as we sign the draft

Between us we kept such score

Sought sore for something back

Nothing back

[Verse 7]

We survived the same shot

Well, we survive the same blow

We both tackle her together

We both want her then forget her

The way a circle never stops
