Boneyard Dancers

I believe,
The air we breathe,
Is tainted by the disintegration of hope.
We have been leaning against notions
Etched in marble headstones -
Your marker states helpless,
Mine scrawls out insecurity.

See we play with each other,
Pretending neither of us has fears.
And we exist,
But we don’t live.
Together, “us”,
We’ve fallen from the graces of heaven,
And separately we each exist in our own private hell.

See,
You and me,
We've been flirting with death,
Teasing him with our fear.
My womanly form,
You're masculine hue;
Doesn't matter,
Cause death goes both ways,
And he is always there,
Waiting for a lick.

Waiting for the chance,
To kill the “us”
And sanctify the me.
Trapping us forever with our private demons,
And away from one another.

We have no internal power,
And if our tails are pushed just wrong,
We self-destruct.

You've been hanging on to security,
Like a childhood blanket,
Scared like when we were small
And earth bound tight.

Now you lay your devotions
At the pedestal of Apathy,
Singing I got the get up and go nowhere blues,
Trapped into believing that the secret to flying
Lies under a twist off cap.

Honey,
You sold your birthright of freedom,
For a pack of Marlboro Red.
Stand up straight,
Like you did when you were curious -
Because we have places to explore
And lives to experience.

Refuse to accept our given demise -
Snarl at the indiscriminate loom,
Expecting us to be our own gravediggers . . .

We are going to stretch wide
And push this envelope to capacity.
We are going to waltz on our graves,
Going to mambo all over these tombs of dead end thinking.
Because we're Boneyard Dancers,
And we've been resting on these tombstones far too long.

"I'll be your crying shoulder, I'll be the greatest fan of your life."
"You don't love her because she's beautiful. She's beautiful because you love
