Overwhelmed but repeating;
I'm clearly sobbing but I have to be rational here.
Insanity erases memories.
Turn to the creator's tongue--
Receive lashings wet from tears to the face; the message is clear.

My jaw cracks from the pressure;
What would I say to you?
And with every morning I splinter with wonder,
Would I still have to tell the truth?
And with every morning I sacrifice warning,
Would I still have the courage to speak?

Our wrists become too tight to unwind,
And maybe we are held by the artist inside of all of us.
I can create a moment of beautiful existence in mind,
But the greatest therapy will always be a cut on the wrist.
A falsetto heartbeat breaks the silence just in time,
And I can see you faintly through the keyhole's despair.
Overwhelmed but repeating,
I'm clearly sobbing but I have to be rational here.
Turn to the creator's tongue.

My eyes water from the snapshot rendering;
How could I look to you?
And with every night I refrain from speaking,
Would I still have to tell the truth?
And with every night I sacrifice another love,
Would I still have the courage to speak?

Save your strength.
Please act surprised.
I'm inviting you to hang from telephone transmissions.
I stutter, I'm struggling to find my inner survivor.
Please slip into the doorway and kick my glass heart,
Besides, with my jaw cracking from the pressure,
What would I say to you?
I spend my nights searching for sleep but still I find earthquakes and firestorms and tidal waves. My retinas burn and then are cleansed by the waves that crash over my aching, broken body. I find the will to pick up the pen to put pressure to the wound and yet I am still wrong, the pen will never cover the dense population of this laceration; it is meant to last forever. I reply however, nothing is meant to last forever. But how simple expressions can be wrong. A safe position I search for to correct the assembly line, hidden from the overnight caretaker. I am spent like the hidden dollar in the jeans washed too many times without warning. I am spent like emotion searching for a maker, a match. I should have had warning. I am the dollar wishing I was still with those jeans; I am a white washed soul. I am searching for your warmth. I know where you are and who you are, what you sound like, what you look like. I know exactly where I want to be. Please reach out to me. I have noticed your eyes from memory. I have been spent so many times since our time, and I am on the other side of the world. Ignore all of the endless possibilities, as a dollar can find its way back to the one who spent it with the most beautiful intention. That is something you can never forget. You had the intention and I cannot fool myself. This life could be a possibility and I could find my way.
