What Do You

"What do you see,

When you look at me? "

Black, lust, rage, watch. 

Headaches, flowers, debt. 

Broken doors, long nights. 

 

"What do you feel,

When you think about me?"

Fear, love, anxiety, luck. 

Structured, watched, caged. 

Alienation, loneliness. 

----

"What do you see,

When you look at me?" 

Purple, dilation, collection, protection. 

Heartaches, apologies, forgiveness. 

Back rubs, late nights. 

 

"What do you feel,

When you think about me?"

Respect, love, freedom, luck. 

Protected, admired, safe. 

Endearment, inhabited.
