STAY MINE

"You're beautiful"

Yeah that song, still gets me

Like Lola Montez

It tries to seduce me

But I can't seek for value

I can't look for worth

When a love that is shared

Doesn't reach past one verse

I'll just take it, release it

Let it be what it be

It's too caught up, distracted

To hold selfishly

Better served in small portions

With time in between

Let it do what it wants

As it wills it to be

No need to recycle

Redundancy.

Or Reconnect,

Recombine.

That which strives

To stay "free"

Gonna to do what it wants

Maybe that's its true purpose

Then the pain that I've gained

Is ridiculously worthless

Only maims and disfigures

When elevated - beyond

It's original purpose

(Is all I should want)

See his eyes, interrupted

Ever human disdain

U-turns interrupting

Such a casual thing

Phone sucks up the second

Dramatic guise is desire

See the slinger click "like"

With the relish of fire

Oh distracted companion

I want not from you

Any more than attention

When the intention's in you

Otherwise I'll stay clear

Over here, here with me

Energy - - - enjoys waves

In the land of the free

You're always distracted

And it segments your time

You can have mine when you need it

But the rest will stay mine
