Look beneath and there are scars,
Scattered haphazardly on the ground of my soul.
So, you think you know me,
But I'm sure you don't really want to,
As I cannot give all of myself for your every pleasure or your every need.
Push me under..
Go on saying I like the pain and I'll go on pretending I do,
Because its the pain that makes us strong if it doesn't kill us first,
And I'm still here wondering where you are at times,
When breath falls short and I abandon my spirit,
To the voyeuristic moon, wind, and stars.
They watch over me when you can't or won't.

So I'm haste making
And nerve searching
Gender full of human rot and doormat tendencies.
Fast breaking on the sarcasm scene,
One floor I never thought I could dance on.
But I'm whirling and taking someone with me,
At least I don't ride the moments alone.

But search me if you will,
Because you'd like to see me squirm
Beneath your appraisal gaze,
While your brain senses every teardrop,
In icy golden regret,
Melting while you cruely intend for me to be your mouse.
Well, I don't like this maze,
And I think I'm gonna burn it down, Baby.
Get to the heart of you like you think I can't.

And let me show you how to break a heart.
Would you really like to know?
I've witnessed ice on a personal level,
And you won't like what I have drawn from it.
You and your knowing me abilities,
Think you've stole my soul,
And well..
Perhaps,
But careful, Love.
It burns a silent fire,
A slow glow before you can even realize your danger.
Who will have your hands then,
Seeing the red scars, they'll think it blood,
And be wary,
For the one with emotional blood on his hands,
Thinks himself forever ruined.

So,
Here I am...
A gender,
And you think you know me;
But I ask you this..
What of the parts of me I haven't told you.
Would you dare pass me and hold my gaze,
On a moonlit path beyond the world of working order?
Would you know me,
If you were eye to eye with my demons?
The ones that I could turn on you in retaliation,
At any time I so desired?
Can you deal with the fact,
That I could hurt you and move on,
Just as easily as you could hurt me and move on?

I'm racing, Baby
Drawing near my close,
And wanting to cease this unknown anger.
Do you have enough water,
To douse the fire, the embers,
And what happens after the smoke clears?


still d-i-s-c-o-n-n-e-c-t-e-d
I am bound by this, you see...to become Night's sole mistress, and I am jealous in my endeavours for his attention.

wow. . . have I told you that you're getting much deeper and more in touch with yourself in your writing these days???

this is extremely profound. . . it's almost a dare. . . excellent. . .

Sven,
Yes..you could say it is has the tone of a dare..perhaps something close at least. I'm just writing and seeing what will come out, but I'm different from moment to moment, you see. Thanks for reading.
