I did something today
Worst thing I have done in weeks.
I did nothing.
I was frozen to myself and not answer the phone.
I wanted to send text messages yet the fingers were not there to guide me home.
I wanted to go to the gym but my cigarettes were 10 feet away.
I wanted some guidance; I got disarray.
I wanted to flirt but I was chickenshit.
I wanted to kick over the sign outside the store but then I was feeling overly mature,
So I settled for fish and chips and a double helping of prunes.
I wanted to light a candle but I was too scared to see my reflection in the flame.
I lifted myself upright to only let myself fall back down….
To this void that pierces my skin.
Then the catacombs of my eyes
Matched the patterns on my shirt
It was time to land my hovercraft
Time to latch back onto Earth
I wanted to tell you with a whisper, with a grin
I looked to see your smiling face
There was nothing
Just a deed for your next of kin
I saw a rainbow draped across your barren soft skin
Viewed a million ships sailing
Over the edge of the flattened world
This treachery
This malaise
Beckons us into the sin
Naked I wanted the day
Stripped away
Naked it was
Droopy eyeballs smacking down the turf
I wanted some candy
I settled for slop
I wanted an epiphany
I settled for sloth
I wanted to be myself
But myself was stuck deep within
I travel the void
There is only me
Just think of me baby
Tomorrow I just might be
