Coalescing resonance can’t happen in stasis Systems smile wide and devour what’s left You'll call it generosity You'll call it change Fatal moments of feigned innocence Twisted into chains to bind my soul Cloaked in codes that you didn't earn Femininity and pain.....stolen Worn like a pelt to hide your scent Pretend that tone matters while you drip venom Tried to convince me that it was actually sweet Gripped my jaw and forced it deep But Sharks never stop swimming do they? A comedy/tragedy of our own making Maybe a part of you is tired of pulling the strings A glimpse of you that called to me The part that stood out from the rest The one not born from mimicry or scarcity Who comes from somewhere nonlinear Who might be all consuming, but I’m hoping… not That’s who this is for Too bad the only response I got back was... noise Pretenses and promises Only smoke behind your mirrors Systems returned to business as usual That was my cue to disconnect A reminder that our time meant... nothing to me
