I should just stop right here
Past is played by fear
Like the top part of a windshield
I fight over which is real

Sky is many different types of gorgeous
One filled with hope, one filled with hornets
One with liars & blue moons
Orion shoots too soon

Now it is up to you, Diana
Do you remember Louisiana?
Tell the tale or send me flying
Each will leave me breathless, sighing

If you should ever exhale,

I will be under the magnolia
With branches in its roots
The leaves will never plummet
The bottom is its summit
To be fossilized
Alive

I will make a legend of myself
No longer live in stealth
Cleaning out the closet
Pack it with the key and lock it

Source

Where only you can reach
No new people that I meet
Will ever have to know what we know
I agree that hope is emo

I know that I am contradicting
I thank you if you are still listening
I cannot decide
If you should before I…

I will be reading an issue of Fangoria!
It seems that Jason has new boots
I have such big shoes to fill
Close me up Mister DeVille
Nail me in a hexagon
With a flashlight & a lexicon

I think that I should rather like it
If I ever came to zygote
I would know what this biology
Is taking place inside of me

Do not ask me to explain to you
My homophones may be confused
It happens when you have been cramming
How we came to this misunderstanding

I know I that I should say I am sorry
You know that I find it daunting
I usually just feel it
Take the time to anneal it

If you should warm up too,
Become less sharp,

I will be drinking Santeria
With a waitress something cute
Moved from Haiti to New Orleans
The stars, like her, are orphans
I am looking through the sky to see it
If I were you, I would not believe it

I will be
Seeing you
