Tarry

Tarry
  
I don't appreciate glimpses making sure I remain exhausted under your surly rule.

If I were a princess I'd find the orneriest knight with the brassiest balls
 to extort you into relinquishing this perturbing hold on my heart.

How many seasons have I sewen my lips shut with liquid stitches
tasting my own bitter flavor of loneliness? 

I don't appreciate titters about my deadpan view,
smirking when I whisper claims into an ear that bends like a crooked river flowing uphill.

Day number 5,475... 

I fucking hate this unappreciative knight.

What I am is what I am Are you what you are, or? Oh, I'm not aware of too many things I know what I know, if you know what I mean Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks Religion is a light in the fog I'm not aware of too many things I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-doo yeah

NIPPY

Nippy    She is my iceberg. I have only glimpsed a sneak peek while she hides herself beneath I tell her she is sinking Doing everything I can to thaw the frost on her lips g ives me cracks no one can see as  I watch my glacial queen drift away  in unpredictable seas away from me... Joy4no1
