A fight in You

Stand there
in the middle
of the flame
I mean the
hottest part
blue tips
lick the center
of my illogical
brain

can you feel it?
are we still sitting
in the eye
whirling pieces
I see them
flying by

I want to
hold you
close
let the chaos
subside

But, we will
have to fight
to get through
the other side

and, I don't see
a fight in you
burnt to pieces
skin unglued

no, no
I don't see
a fight in you

hold me tight
prove me wrong
let me see
a fight
in you

let me see
a fight in you

as the flames
lick our hearts
red, orange, blue
please please
have a fight
in you

a fight
a fight
a fight
in you

The Turn Is Mine

Am I confused?
you ask
condescendingly
maybe
no

The answer is no
for once
I know
I know what
I want

It won't be reciprocated
It won't be convenient
It will shock you
out of character
decision
me?
Who is this?

Get out of my way
give me a kiss
Here's my hand
flush of queens
I don't know, yet
If they win
or loose
in this type of game

Deal your deck
I always let you
no no no
I know this time
I know this time

the turn is mine
the turn is mine

I just need to know

Touch me with your finger tips.
Peel my skin off of my bones.
I feel the layer of protection,
holding down my soul.
I look into your eyes,
searching...

Can you see me?
Can you feel my mind?
Is there anything between us?
Or, has your heart gone blind...
I can't feel your intention.
I can't speculate your light.
Pulled in so many directions,
I still come back to you
again
and again
and again
and again
and again.

Tell me what you want from me.
Just say leave,
and I will go.
Hold my hand
and say to stay,
I need a direction
I need to know.

It's up to me
to make a move
and I won't
stuck
frozen
skin
and
bones
Give me a direction
I just need
to know
Give me a direction
I just need
to know.

Are you mine?
Am I yours?
Will we be us?
Or...
Do I finally
let you go?

Give me a direction
I just
need to
know
