Cold and Unbreathing by Blu Wynd Faerie
Rated PG
watch me fly, watch me roll away
i'm leaving you alone
there are tissues in your hands,
drops like dew in your eyes,
and a frown on your face
just forget me
i'm not worth your tears, lover
dry your eyes and euthanize your kleenex
put away that clown-mask pout
you say i'm your brilliant eagle
i'm your Jesus Christ, superstar,
your wishing star
but watch this bird go catapulting down
this messiah crucified
this comet crash and shatter
this one's got nothing going for him
watch me as i fall away from you,
undeserving, i've learned nothing
and yet too much
futile searching for answers to all the why's
it leaves me empty
i'm still alone and small
i'm still the next-door neighbor with the glasses,
the one whose name you never could remember
except now my name's all over your brain,
i hope your mama washes out your mouth with soap
forget my name again, like you once did
yes, i'm undeserving
to have my name on your tongue,
your eyes on my retreating back,
your lips on my own
my breath's caught in my throat
we can't inhale, exhale, live this way
so let me go
you must return to oxygen, lover
i'm not worth it
let's both forget the craving
i apologize for faking it cold
