a means, elsewhere

I send you pieces of paper
So you don’t forget me while I am away

I scribble down words
Like a coy schoolgirl

To keep me in your reality.

We both know that when we look into the sky
Polaris acts as an eye
So we can spy
on eachother

While I am away.

The massive black abyss above
Is where we craft
Nude suggestive figures

Take off Orion’s belt
While he gets off on Mars

You pick me apart in your head
Thrash your branches around violently
To ward off the parasite.

You keep reaching for the rose
And it keeps cutting you.

You keep reaching for the rose
And it keeps cutting you.

I know you are cold and on a barren floor
I weep

We yearn to be found in loving arms
With the kiss of understanding

Yet you suppress me

While I am a way.
