::: All Things :::

like all things beautiful and malicious
I will have to betray you in the end
nothing personal, it's just what I am
I can't fight what is naturally me
should I really try to repress myself
simply for the sake of your pleasure?

like all things sinful and curious
I run face to face always searching
but I won't ever see you there, will I?
thousands of miles of land and ocean
but not enough to tell the difference
from night and day and calm and strong

like all things ignorant and dirty
I will try to cut you down to my size
so that we will always fit together
because I can't lose another piece
without stopping to speak my mind
will you forgive my dusty honesty?

like all things both frivolous and sane
how can so few words utterly destroy me?
I've spent hours hunting for your voice
we keep stealing sentences like kisses
it's all that's really left between us
what's not there is painless to say

::: Fear :::

frightened
I can see it in
the taste of your lips
and the curve of your thighs
you'd not say it in so many words
but I am more than aware of the feeling
did you know that I've had it too?
echoing my lonely footsteps
and shadows on the wall
let me kiss it away
comfort you

::: Minuet :::

I feel as though
we've been trapped
within this waltz

one two three
one two three
forever

the scenery changes
but our steps
are always the same

the repetition drives me mad
because you
won't let me change

even though
I already have
I want another partner

release my hand
before I have to cut it off
please
