putting down the boxing gloves for a moment

how does she show him more than words type shit
after he is words more than over it
how do you open a door that has been burned by your actions
how do you shine when you've lost all attraction

once the queen and king of odds
now another kingdom gone wrong
a predictable end to what was already cursed doomed
they knew

they were right
so what of wasted time
endless days of forever
so perfect in a struggle
so strong in a puddle

but so small was it?
so small, let's just watch it evaporate
it is now only dates
just a memory of home
can't ever go home
never ever go home

where'd you go sweet trust
did i push you away
while we danced, did i step on your toe
can i not heal from my wounds
can you not heal from yours
did we trip too far out of bounds

do we wash it away
replace it with some new fresh water
but in the same mugs that bear the name bear
bear the name fox, do we still matter

and what to become of us when another animal drinks from our chalices
dines in our minds
laughs in our hearts

who will be my mother's fifth son
your father's other daughter
the lady who wears betty's fur coats
the hand that helps my pop

who will dance with me as i grow old
climb mountains with you in foreign lands
who's cousin will save me when i am drowning
who will make you tea before bed
unknot your head

talk to me love
late night before blue light
talk to me love
all sweet like all fight like
hold me tight love
so close and so close
love me real love
so real and so real
come back home love
so sorry is ari
