13 - It's Not a Good Idea
you and i are a lot alike,
constantly in trenches
deep inside our minds.
riding waves that reach
no heights,
the lows feel further
every time.
but we both seem connected,
never felt so close to anyone.
what will happen when
the beauty fades?
when the music stops
and pink clouds return
to being grey?
i know it's difficult
to see it
when your emerald eyes
pierce right through
the walls i've built
to keep me from the shadows.
we're dominoes, co-dependent,
fall into each other's lap,
or if the table turns
we might stab each other's back.
it's not a good idea,
we're not foolish, we both know.
but it's impossible to look away
when you wrap your hands
around my throat.
