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
