You Know
Go away
Stay
Leave
Come back
And finally when I settle you seem to understand
The moments when I crumbled
You know the reason why I ran
And the open lies beneath
They fan the singing air
And push against denial
You know honesty is so rare
Motions lost in juice
And lemonade clinks in crys
So when I milked you of your time
You know you drained me of my rise
Flailing and holding
Wonder why the bird purrs
Wonder why the cat laughs
You know why the scars burn
Flinching and crushing
While twigs tumble down
Between the branches of enjoyment
You know you can see the timid frown
Hunting down and protecting
And the sun still skips away
And the moon dances with vigor
You know the stars fade and sway
Lifting and dropping
As the forests fall apart
The canyon shrinks back
You know the mountains lose their hearts
Annoying and appealing
While the eager clock awakes
And you hit the edge of time
You know you swallow your mistakes
Devil and demeanor
With a bit of humble pride
Kicking at the whispers
You know you shush away the tide
Glancing and observing
Fleeting silence with shriveled despair
Thanking shadows and demanding
A round of appaluse for air
Gasping and screaming
Since when do people die?
Since when does a flower listen?
You know why does water dry?
Leaving and ignoring
Hissing at the sound of hate
When shouting makes you silent
You know elevators stop at the floor of fate
Dancing and shying
Tipping far from pain
Where apples fall like raisins
You know sunshine feels like rain
Spinning and sighing
Like dresses carved around
The bodies of survival
You know spirits young and drowned
Yanking and shrugging
Mixing watermelons with sand
And oceans crimson pretty
You know they face away from ancient clay lands
Models and shivers
With cubs yawning spite
With caresses and comforts
You know the preparation for a fight
Giggling and tripping
Over layers of spice
To acting like you love them
You know that smiling sacrifice
Accepting and despising
A little bit of death
A eraser
And a liar
You know the fun of ending breaths
Flicking and plotting
Feathers scrape grey
Skies growl in splendor
You know nights loathe the day
Living and defying
And glancing at the fire
Elephants stomp your grave
And you know that your the liar
