BUT LIKE MY MOTHER

Hurting so bad

Touching your skin

Such sin

When your lips

Touch mine

 

Chemicals release inside my brain

Spectrums of electricity must

Jump from neuron to neuron

Collapsing memory pods

From years before

 

The storm you bring to mind

The clouds billowing in time

God your eyes burn through

The core of my existence

Every time I see the little kid

Inside of you

 

Driving your million dollar machine

Touching you so insane

The most giant softest lips

Of all time

You’ll never be mine

Why can’t I just turn and walk away

Knowing the barbwire is just too much

To take when the spikes crush my hands

Bleeding palms

 

Fleeing pawns

The characters of my life

Will surely run and cry when I damage them

Surely it will just hurt too bad

To walk away so many times

From you

 

I must come to you again

To see in the light

Just give me one more memory tonight

Risking the lessons I know to be true

Insanity with you

God you drive me so crazy

But it’s still so wrong

Why can’t I just sing this song

And let it slide like

The rocks that want to crumble

 

Standing under this humble

Still mumbling when I walk away

Watching your face in the distance

I see the woman I wish I could hold

But like my mother

I just never could reach you

I never got enough

And sand paper is too rough

To rub across your legs

Bleeding from the head

Mentally aching

 

I miss the sound of your voice

Calling my name in the sheets

Perfect sleep

A perfect heap of flesh

We make when we lay this way

Something about our brown skin

That just makes sense

Yet there’s nothing easy

About you and me

 

Forging through

Our own eternities

Still alone

Searching for love

And searching for one

Something with someone

Something worth meaning

God you’re so good

At leaving me

Quick snap and your gone

Never believing you

Yet this time I must let go

For I know too much

This time around

To pretend otherwise

 

A fool in love

A cool black glove

To cover my hands

When I lift weights

Some cool black skin

To cover my face

When I have to lift you away

Somehow

Life will take us away

 

For my love

My Christina

There will be a time

When I must allow myself

To fly away
