we shared a brother skin. some of me was some of him. his unkempt hair, his oven burns. the bruises bashed into his every word.
(did you hit him again?)
i tried to be what you'd need, but you wouldn't let me in, and i will not fight what is finite-- you had no home; you had a prison.
he says, "there's no pleasure." in my defence, i wanted better. still, i ask him to chop the onions-- i don’t want to cry in front of him.
i do not think we can drink enough to forgive or forget it. i tried my best but i digress: we both needed someone to trust, let in.
still, it's bigger than what we began we said, "yes," but we could not usurp so we made hurt the only word and in that way got what we deserve.
wear a coat, dear, i heard it will be cold. when you come home, you can take off your clothes. all i ask is: admit you're a coward. all i ask is: when you scream, scream louder. reduce it to a single, useless word. say it loud even though you won't be heard. what is the body without organs of a book? a jaw, a jar, a gesture that i could-- between bars, bar-fights, desire, duct-tape, parades and parks, a river becoming a lake-- i know i said: simultaneity, but i cannot be you, and you cannot be me.
so long, friend. Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa. |
