live like a cactus on my windowsill
barely a live, but beautiful still
overwatered, overgrown,
pot too small to call my home
*
i can hardly help myself
cuz i don't know the way
there's nothing i can say
*
live like an animal set loose from its cage
nothing to do with all my lust and my rage
feeling hungry, feeling scared
now that i have freedom i am underprepared
live like a bouquet in a makeshift vase
bringing color to a dismal space
on a stool, no sunlight
someday soon i'll wither and die
how can i love someone who's never here?
i can't hold you if you're never near
do I really love you or just the idea?
nothing is clear
