~Dangerous and soft.

I'm feeling kind of strange. You may even say deranged
But not unusual. I just needed some time off,
From being me-- though I'm feeling dangerous and soft
I still have my dignity--

The wind's blown through me, or is that just your proximity?
I find you weeping by the roadside, so you jump up, blazing pale
Demand I refrain from telling tales
I didn't know you told

I sit down beside you, there you are, without conviction, looking old
For a moment I'm bewildered, but then I thought that I could see
For a moment I believed it, that I could tell the truth, or be--
so bold--

But then you turned away and stammered, and my heart flipped over, still
You brushed your hair from your face, and it's a losing battle to my will,
A blush had called our truce, though our peace of mind was nil--
but there's your hand

I'm feeling kind of strange, this mad moment that we're friends, and
Yet, feeling strangely free, like I've just let go of me,
And that's alright. When I was dangerous and soft --
you were there, in the end.

~Set Up for a Fall.

Bear me down, take me through and lie me down right next to you
Let me follow you to sleep, saying nothing as the day falls in too deep--
Let me hope, let me near, let me kiss away our fear (just please touch me)
Look at me so plainly, without that awe, or hope, or need-- & only greed--

You write crooked 'cross every line, you've befuddled me each time
And I thank you, you remind me of the circles in my mind I'd let myself inside--
Seeming so much like a curse, you've prevented something worse--
Without this tug I'd be complacent, and forgetful, even easy, let's just face it--

You remind me of the edges I cannot afford to hide. You remind me
There are raw dark places twisting, slipping in my mind--
I didn't know I could be like this, I didn't know I was this way
I didn't know who it was that could just want you every day--

And it costs me plenty to admit this, setting myself up to fall--
When I look at you I can forget who Harry Potter is at all.
