Forneverforever

"You want it all, but you can't have it."
- Mike Patton

forever
or never

forever
an ember

a glow
in the dark

a slow
burn; a spark

in life
getting dark

cling to them
depend like a fly

convince yourself
that next to them you'd die

humiliate yourself over the phone
because you dreamed whole homes

backyards filled with garden gnomes
kids with the cutest smiles,

the girl you want forever with
and for her you'd wade miles

or did you want forever
or did you just project

meaning onto a spark,
and climb like an insect

infect, infect, infect
reject, reject, reject

project, project, project
infect, infect, infect

romantic to a detriment
women that are heavensent

heart and self, the element
to fueling love and sentiment

the worst mix, undying love,
undying lust, broken trust

placing both side by side
one night you're gonna cry

the next you love the arch
but tomorrow you miss the march

the chase and provider of grace
but never sees the same in your face

like a cd, with no jewel case
a cheesy metaphor, seen above

the worst mix, undying love,
undying trust, broken lust

habit is tragic
feel her magic

cryptic as love
a puzzle to solve

someday, maybe,
likely not at all

numb, numb, numb
pain, pain, pain
march, march, march
arch, arch, arch
mood, mood, mood
emotionally nude

feel nothing
feel everything

i can't handle my weight
and clearly cannot wait

to keep my mouth shut,
and wait until it dies

the worst mix: hurtful love,
harmful lust, confused stares

but then i hit reality
and go from lust, to stare

the worst mix: clinging love,
unfaithful lust, dead trust

dead weight, aching smile,

from march to arch

this life so bleak
in love and art
first time this week
remembered your heart
