Homeostasis
This pain in my right side
Up under my ribs..
(Intermittent)
It’s distracting
Try to ignore it.
The pain in my jaw
(Chronic)
Hurts to talk, to think, to live
Your eyes though
You don’t speak, they do
It’s ok love
You’re gonna live forever
For a long, long time
Homeostasis will come?
You’re gonna do your thing
(Whatever that is)
You’ll figure it out
(Maybe)
Look into your own eyes
Who are(were) you
Back when?
I’m looking into a stranger’s eyes
No?
Don’t hide. Don’t lie
I see everything
Time ticks and tocks away
Dreams get more vivid
Wake up in a panic
Grab my hand
Fingers intertwine and I know
For this moment at least I know
It’ll be ok
When it builds
I choke it back
scribble it out quickly
And look
What a shame
Never what I imagined it to be
What a mess full of black smudges and lines
Ugly, harsh
Let’s lock it up
The color right now hurts my eyes
It’s so vibrant
Sound is more intense
More melodramatic
Dream/sound scapes sweep
Stretch it out
Go with it
But it knocks the wind right outta of me
