here I am
performing
my life
for you
during the commercial breaks
between the seasons
that you watch and douse vacantly
for you
to notice that
you could be alive-
but are not
I want us to be us again
our voices
trespassers without inhibitions
running amok in crowded skies
here I am
performing
my life
performing this schizophrenic tale
that lumbers through your drowsy days
so that we fall back in
where we belong
I don capes and shrouds
each dawn
and fling myself off fake memories
each dusk
for you
here I am
performing
my life
for you to join me
I have tried all the moods
in our wardrobe
to jolt you back into madness
but you still remain sane
and tonight I am going to try on
the last vestiges of insanity
left in there
and woo you back to life
and if you don't come over
I warn you
I will join you in your lifeless sanity
you wouldn't want that,
would you?

This provokes.
I'd be ashamed if this were addressed to me :)
