213. Doppelganger (Sprinkled With Charm)

Give it a smile, Give it a wink, Give it a reason to be riled Like there's someone watching. Be charming, Be like a superstar, Be on your best behavior, Because there's someone watching. I can see you pressing those intentions deep, Making me feel like some big ole creep. Anything to penetrate her heart to seep. Give her a little anxiety, Give her a little addiction, Give her a reason to never leave Like there's someone watching. Be alluring, Be like her oasis, Be everything she wants you to be Because there's someone watching. Newsflash, You're in the spotlight, So no one misses the action, But where's the camera? Watching you mess up. Watching you misdirect her truth. Watching you watch yourself Like everybody's watching. If I'm watching me, Who is that who sees? This is getting really stupid, o geeze. Why is my persona such a tease?

214. Bitter-Sweet

Taste of the ick. When close you're a prick. Is that how you get your kick? Is this another box to tick? Taste of the sick When lips give me a lick. When it repeats like music, Is when I can no longer pick. Taste does the trick

212. Open Wings

As if ice were grating my skin, My feathers become a blanket, But the cold makes no contact. Is it safe to walk out of my den? No warmth despite fingers in my pocket. Constrained by futility as the light in me retracts. My wings chain-up my spirit like cryogen. How do I find the strength to unlock it? It's easier if I gave up the will to act. But I crashed headfirst to murder evidence of my sin. I asked Death if Hell and I would make a good fit.  "Who said God judging was a genuine fact?"

211. Magic Eraser

You might think it's normal To erase the words That caused your hurt But crazy To erase the joy Too So it gets to your name And it's no more So no one remembers.

210. It Was So Easy

Like I didn't have to hide, At least far by much, The words from my voice. But initiation wasn't mine, Simply reciprocation. Who's to say, Engagement didn't lead to my Excitement for participation. A pink rose to distract, From the hand that pushed. Blinded by memory, Perhaps I forgot, It was tragically difficult.

209. Incoherent

A shade meant to, Not perhaps as prescribed. Or so public perception inconceive Blocked more than All intents an purposes. Especially to keep it self-contained. Stay deemed Self-explanatory  No no no no! Goodbye Not or Forever Words said but not meant. As if you wrote Japanese, But read in Chinese. As if I spoke Alien Yes, yes, yes, yes! 行かないで!

208. Would You Be Sad If I Gave Up?

I dip myself in the mud Following your heartbreak. "Love's brought only misery," "I give up too," I echoed in revelry. Sure an opinion we'd share. But your eyes rebuttalled. Your words argued. Your hands in disbelief. If I were a psychic, I'd be out of the job. 3 years and I hadn't a clue. That maybe, Unbeknownst to me, Faith came not from I, But from your support. So when you wouldn't give me a word, As yours became no longer coherent, And you took your presence out of my life, You took the very assurance you gave.
