You're no genius, for your sanity's intact.
You're just ones and zeros
time after time,
Mechanical, cold but melting eyes
Make you friendlier.
A magnet draws me nearer
Taken from the stare, a smuggler
And my strength is gone.
Read my letters, I hope you weep for them
Throw your empty eyes on my defence.
Can you hear the whistling sword as it's heading for your neck?

I drew you in my dreams.
You were born a sinner, a quiet
Beast amongst the weak.
Under your cowardice I felt your lion faced heart
Ruining those you love,
Guilty from conception.
Eyes wide shut. The subtle serpant
Twists and shapes your lies to love.
Watching heartbreak through
Transluscent skin stretched
Tight over broken bones.
Your love
Just a confirmation I'm still alive.
Why am I still waiting?
I'll only surrender again.
This time I have a real complaint.
Your lies drop faster than
My tears fall like dominoes
He hates me but he won't escape.
I dreamt I was a dollar bill;
Worthless but he's poor and I'm spent.
The cheap false love he seeks.
Gliding so smooth
Then a hop, a jump.
A tumble. Pull yourself together
Take off; in search of scraps
They scream and shout and run at you
Head for the horizon,
But don't look back, don't come back.
You're unwanted.
