you've uttered these words, whispered them after dark
spiraling, spinning, and swiveling sound
she proceeds to complain, mocking me, "so profound"
this shrill commentary somehow reaches my ears
consuming conversation, conservation of peers
don't trouble yourself, as my guts start to squirm
don't blink, move your mouth, sit up straight, look firm!
disappear from this place, so quick! walk away.
like fall under feet, the leaves crunch and decay
the notes fly from her jaws, and slip past my thoughts
i grope at the tone, at the color i've caught
because a sickness creeps past us, the disease of what's been
my head sinks to my hands, so sheepish, chagrin
while you hang your head high, you fire all the blame
your guns are still smoking, what never became.
