Mediocre Dreams and Mistreated Hearts
mediocre dreams and mistreated hearts

what you see as old, beneath beats
a tender heart
what I see as hard, is a child with an organ
cruelly mistreated

not that I seek death in totality when
I cannot resolve these fears
I either need become that hero for you or die
with this unwrapped gift I hide.

but, come to think of it, this is no place to start
that summit in apathetic reclusion.

this is the hole in the center of the universe,
a kind of purgatory
where people like us go while standing far apart
to delude or punish

ourselves for not trying. commune among monsters
that can't taste our flesh, sate immortality

because in a thousand years, it won't mean a thing
we die on our own crosses with none to witness

know like I, nothing to fear to mend your heart
and when that's fixed, get mine undone?

so, yeah. maybe, this doesn't really apply, just
an ongoing dream of mediocrity I'm in bed with.
