A Human Certainty

Don't come in here

You'll see something ugly

It's not the kind of thing

You'd expect from a body

Don't come in here

Don't see me this way

With my knees on rice

And a prayer for the prey

My face is heavy

My mind is clenched

My eyes are disgusted

My hands are hot

My walls are green

My walls are red

I only cry wolf

When all my sheep are dead

Don't come in here

I beg of you

Yes there's love in my heart

But there's hatred in my thoughts

Don't believe in me

Or anything that speaks

For you won't be deceived

By a human certainty

My face is heavy

My mind is clenched

My eyes are disgusted

My hands are hot

My walls are green

My walls are red

I only cry wolf

When all my sheep are dead

Last night I had a dream about you

and in my dream you were only

asleep I sat in a chair and watched

you as you laid there so beautifully

the still of the night made me lonely

I wanted to touch you. I wanted

to feel you. I wanted things to be

just like they rise to be except I'd

keep all my promises the I felt

so ashamed

I was so ashamed until

I realized we're all guilty of that dream

and forever I wish you

a beautiful sleep
