Orchids

You hold me inside your iris
a terminal stain on life
You condescend to my primal brain
and twist me around like a knife
Cant begin to explain
The feelings I have restrained
Dont ask me how I am
Because youre too busy planning your epitaph
Let me tell you
DONT - try to be the ONE - person
Who has STAYED - just to say
They never left me!
Aggravated, complicated, someone say it
You keep me hidden behind a curtain,
You feed me orchids to give me courage
and keep me in line with disdain
Cant begin to explain
The feelings I have restrained
Dont ask me how I am
Because youre too busy planning your epitaph
Let me tell you
DONT - try to be the ONE - person
Who has STAYED - just to say
They never left me!
Aggravated, complicated, someone say it
I have nothing left for you
you left me with nothing
I have nothing left for you
I live at arms length and die a little,
between your constants by day
I want my soul back before its over,
I cant even wish you away
Cant begin to explain
The feelings I have restrained
Dont ask me how I am
Because youre too busy planning your epitaph
Let me tell you
DONT - try to be the ONE - person
Who has STAYED - just to say
They never left me!
Aggravated, complicated, someone say it
I NEVER LEARN!!
