title pending under indecision

i face the earth

you face the stars

and in our faces linger the yearning

of ageless hours

of fraught sunshine

and tangled moonbeams

and the rain choking

and the humiliated coffee bean

i smash the earth in your face

you smash the stars in mine

i go bright with disgrace

and you grow dark like the sun never shined

we claw at each other with the nails of our heart

we don't know how to part, my love,

we don't know how to part

we claw

and we wound

deliberately we beat

and we hack

and we wring and we strangle at every angle

we pull and we yank

and we slit and we stab

our follies have scarred every limb

every joint

every smile we shall smile

is stitched with a thousand lies

we groan and we moan

and we kick and we prick

and we smash-squeeze-shove-screw-PULVERIZE!

but you never die

and i never die

why all this fuss, my love,

why all this fuss

a flower loses a petal

but a flower does not bark

a flower does not bark

in daylight

or in the dark

but listen to me shriek, my love,

day and night

one loss of love, my love,

and an eternity of fright

what's left of you sits beside what's left of me

we don't know how to part, my love,

we don't know how to part

as petal-less flowers bloom in our heart
