squeeze

where is the truth in this?

even if he refuses his lips it's grace

i still love him

as we slowly fix each other's problems,

to the death

stubborn and persistent

inefficient to resist

intellectual eminent domain

forward thought and hubris

hand in hand

enticed by two in the bush

exploring boundaries' natal definitions

even when it's twisted

consider it will never happen if we never try

so don't tell me we can't be utopic

until we give in to the other's demands

until we go too deep, deflective

squeeze your cheeks

like you don't know what i mean

i can only say so it many times

blue in the face

i am who i am and i'm not sorry

even if i know it won't last

through the night or a lifetime

i love you even though i know it means i'll lose you

that's what i know, after all

and i defy you

and i dare

bear false witness in my court

for your accounts to balance

tours of episodic drama

and mainlining serotonin

forgetting how to live

one love at a time

a hot stovetop

seen through rose colored spectacles

the ugliest of muses is wrath

a hanged man, self-imposed

heels-over-head acceptance

he told me what it is

that he sees what is really going on

but i am the one who believed
