Yours

By Purposelessness

I've come a long way
I say to myself,
Hopeful
I know who I am now
I lie to myself,
Thoughtful

My feet dangle over the edge
Of your roof
I throw another bottle into your bushes
The tinkling a ripple through my heart
As I almost hope it wakes you
The night is no longer young
So I climb down into your window
Your breath low and neat,
My heart skips a beat as I caress your cheek
More gentle than I have ever been

I sit in your bath and consider what my actions will cause
Opening my veins in your home so you can find me, yours
Sighted by my love as I slip away
Now I am further from you than you have ever been from me
I guess it's your turn next

This would tell me you have serious psychological problems. Creeping into a window, unwelcome and touching someone while they sleep makes me think you did worse. Most get shot over that shit. Not cool, man. You perch like a crow and think it's OK. Crows mean death. I'm fucked up and "I" don't think this is OK. There's good and bad people in this world. You don't seem so good.

It's an observation. Believe me, I under no circumstances deny I'm fucked up. I'd say, let your dark raven defend himself. Yes, you can express yourself without reservation but, don't think someone in an open platform of self expression won't offer an opinion. Get used to it and tuck those teeth back. My interpretation is mine and I own that. It could be a fantasy write, it could be one of personal experience. I felt, digested and responded. You don't decide how others respond or should feel. If it's too hot in here, check your ass at the door. If you think I haven't seen the same criticism, you have a lot to learn.
