Thirty-Two ~ Michael Steven Donovan

(Birth name of Mike Blueberry, the comic book character after which I was named)

"You kiss me like a punch in the face, 

and make me whole like an explosion.

Proud of me 'cause I'm a disgrace, 

your soft touch is my erosion.

Tie me up to let me loose, 

leave me free like a ball & chain.

Yeah hold me tight like a hangman's noose, 

show me love by inflicting pain.

You tell the truth with all your lies, 

and keep me up like gravity.

You close your ears to hear my cries, 

and heal my scars to let me bleed.

Now push me down like weightlessness, 

and hold me tight like cigarette smoke.

So pray for me in faithlessness, 

and give me air so I may choke.

You stare at me with eyes shut tight, 

Yeah show me darkness but call it light,

You make me whole like a broken heart, 

and freeze me like a burning flame.

Love confused me right from the start, 

and I'm still hoping you feel the same."
