| Like a scene in science fiction
|
| where the creature will not die.
|
| I"ve been using perfect diction,
|
| even though I"m terrified.
|
| I see you smiling through me,
|
| can you find a place to hide?
|
| I think I might hear someone
|
| coming out of the corner of my eye.
|
| I"ve been meaning to look into your eyes.
|
| I"ve seen them a half a million times.
|
| How have I not seen they might be strange?
|
| I"ve been meaning to look behind your smile.
|
| I"ve seen it a half a million times.
|
| So how have I not noticed that you have fangs?
|
| I just had the strangest vision:
|
| The apartment was on fire.
|
| You were standing in the kitchen,
|
| and you were covered in cherry pie.
|
| Well you know I see with my eye drawn back,
|
| so you can"t tell me that I"m just upset. |
| (?)
|
| Aww, I think I"m gonna get sick.
|
| I"ve been meaning to look into your eyes.
|
| I"ve seen them a half a million times.
|
| How have I not seen they might be strange?
|
| I"ve been meaning to look behind your smile.
|
| I"ve seen it a half a million times.
|
| So how have I not noticed that you have fangs?
|
| Now they"re upon me at my door (?),
|
| and I"m laying on the floor,
|
| 11ea
|
| just trying to catch my breath.
|
| If you"d just give me a minute.
|
| No, I don"t need no other friend,
|
| so I will not let you in
|
| And if you don"t go away,
|
| then I"m jumping out the window. |
