Are you there?

Yes.

We were everywhere,
everywhere we were.

Where?

Everywhere
sitting on top of the
world.

The world?

Yes.

Laughing and gasping for air.

Where?

Come with me, you’ll see.

Lizy

My Lizy wraps around my fingers
like a Stizzy. Oh, she’s sticky.

Spark, pull, blow—
She’s turning me,
sliding and gliding.
Girl, you turn me.

May I mention more?
She calls, and I come.

The Trail

I was forever alone,
Alone on the trail,
The trail of roses.

The roses, who spoke,
Told me to be careful.
So, I leaned and listened.

The thorns will pierce
Through your feet, but
You will be guided by the light
To flee.

And if you turn back,
You will forever be alone,
On the trail of the unknown.

Surrender

Your touch is rare,
I feel your stare.
But if you dare to care,
Be fair.

Live for me, please—
Oh, pretty please.
As I get on my knees,
To offer a tease.

Remember

To remember is a reminder,                                                            
A reminder to remember.
So, every time you remember,
Think about your reminder
To remember.

Broken

You were my everything,
The one who created everything.
But you've broken everything,
And everything you've broken
Was my everything.

Sleep

As I lie to sleep, 
I think about all the things 
that have tormented me.
 
I have
 so much to give. 
I lie in despair.
 
Body is numb.  
Drowning in tears.
 
My body will
 disappear in the
 whispers that I hear.
 
Voices whispering
 and will depart as I’m near. 

If these voices are admired 
and desired. 

Then I will be craved by fear.  

The Knee Man

Did you see my knees?
My knees are gone.
What do you mean?
They’re gone.

But where could they have gone?
To him.
Who’s him?
The knee man, who
Took my knees.

He comes at night,
At midnight.
You will know by the smell
Of his toes. 

Hide under the cover
And say,
"Goodnight, knee man, stay
Away from me."
