Paper (Sitting Still)
K. Eltinae |
I am not angry,
I am pinning up this dread,
I'm not listening to these voices,
Screaming in my head,
You're shaking something awful,
Baby why don't you just sit still?
And let my mercy wash over your body,
Like a forgiving sleeping pill.
You know you're shaking,
Just like paper,
Without motive,
Without scheme,
You are falling down that flight of stairs,
Which you have claimed to be your dream,
I don't blame the half of you,
That's been left here waiting,
Begging to be whole,
I just wish your life,
Could find elan,
Of some timeless control.
I don't carry these strokes around,
My shades have grown friendly,
As the family clock,
No one cares about how I feel anymore,
They just wait for me to talk,
And when I do,
The whole earth moves,
And nothing is still again,
You're still shaking just like paper,
As I am watching you descend.
