He sucks out my brain when he speaks <br />And I'd like to cup his in a glass <br />Watch it monkey dance like mine <br />My fellow gemini <br />I watch him on the phone with an ex <br />Who just got married <br />See him smile while his stare dry cries <br />I know he wants to die <br />But it is only a moment to pass <br />While I harass <br />Some guy sitting with us for a story <br /> <br />He tells me he's shy <br />And it's such a lie <br />I know it coz I feel shy that way too; <br />Talking non-stop about nothing <br />Telling my day in picture words with no feelings attached <br />Then suddenly too obviously to be taken seriously <br />Gleefully we declare that we are priviledged <br />I couldn't be anything else <br />Neither can he <br /> <br />He drives fast to go wait for time to slow <br />I laugh hard from deep inside my throat coz I know <br />That life is a laughing matter <br />He likes that most about me <br />Funny... <br />Kisses my cheek twice <br /> <br />He'd asked 'do you want to go out? ' <br />And I'd said no <br />So he said he'd be over in ten <br />My hair was a mess but I wanted to have dinner <br />So I looked for a black dress <br />Loved it coz it made me look thinner <br />Walked out the house a different person <br />Got here but won't eat; <br />I don't want more than the scene now <br />I eat people <br />He knows <br />He eats people too <br /> <br />He calls the way I used to do <br />When I thought I was in love <br />I wake up feeling for my heart every day <br />Pat, pat... shrug <br />It's not there <br />But my smile won't fade away <br />It blazes bright <br />Tears? <br />Gosh, they make me feel broken and abnormal! <br />A note to myself; <br />Maybe I need to tell him there's no heart <br />I am paper and ink; <br /> I watch and I think <br />And can't feel any of this <br />Nope, not really <br />Yet he should know intimately <br />The pain killer of gemini bliss.<br /><br />Natasha Ashwe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gemini-bliss/
