Access the Thief

I crown the mask
That we all wear
Just so I
Can stand to bear
My own deceit

Pleasures run
Away from the stolen
Treasures that permit
My own defeat

Crowding out innocence
Like a bandit
It makes no sense
Any own standard
Are we unpredictable
Are we all accountable
For wanting something
That we cannot grasp

If finding ways to get inside
Access the thief
Betray the pride

This is the final test
To see what we can find

The birth certificate
For my life
Is parading around
Town as if it’d
Like to be noticed

A trophy for love

We cannot involve
Our passions when the
Distance means more than
To grasp onto a fact
Steal away

Fugitive

I introduced her to all my friends
She stayed for them but not for me
In the end she was only
Someone to steal my heart
Stolen once before but many times
Ripped from my core there are
Many more moments that this
Could be stolen again and again
For fun because I know the game

All the same in love and war I
Couldn’t turn it off really
Bake you a chocolate cake
Maybe that was my first mistake
Forgetting and remembering
Everyday is a reminder of the
Bandit she would turn out to be
Even if only friendship and
A kiss was exchanged
I hang that picture on the wall

What a lucky time, time to record
In the stones beneath our feet
Not feeling like I’m anything special
But somehow engaging a cigarette
Allowances were made and the
History is archived for us to
Always remember in whatever
Capacity our brains and our
Hearts are empowered

Still a thief is a thief
A heart is a heart
Like a blindfolded burglar
Stolen friends stolen love
The end is devoured
In our inabilities to
Remain
