In Peaces Like You

In Peaces Like You

A Poem by Gem Marie

Maybe it’s safe
Maybe it’s safe to run from the sun
It burns let me know when it's my turn
I'll jump
In
Haven’t had anything to eat
My stomach's grumblin these thoughts tumblin
Keeping me from sleep, car shadows cruise along walls
Drownin daggers of brawls
Inner ear talks bout my sunrise beer
Quit bankin on fused time entwined in thankin tweets of robins in specific heats
Numbing sensation got me itchin, not switchin, dim the glitter, more fitter
This pinch hitter in place branding the word replace for the lack of running base
Mom still got those purple joints
Conversations controlled by exclamation points, these days
Been layin here since 805 now its 9
55 Chevy passin on ceilin too surrealin but its revealin high ways that got me in a daze
Daddys near the stove top in the kitch screamin out about his sales pitch
Don’t mean nothing but a bunch of gibberish
Relayin distortion questions of abortion got my heart in contortion
His lips still movin likes he’s an actor but he threw out the script screaming no way or my way
Replyin with dead ends are one way
Streets without the bend
I cant pretend that this anxiety blend is goin to somehow fizzle down and mend I but I do intend on working on bitter ends if only you could comprehend
I’ve heard the sun don’t shine forever but as long as its shining is it even possible to come together or should I forget about shining altogether?
But honestly let me see
I’d like to meet the one in charge of the bus stop mayhem propped up on our lawn whose responsible for early morn yawns
Suited up standing soap box tall
Preaching above all bout bottles of magic potion said to put mom back in motion
Ive got blood in my mouth from the hole in my tongue that was causing the sensations of numb
Ness that was mentioned before, I left out the part about being knocked out on the floor
I'm having episodes of déjà vu and I don’t look good in black and blue
But the celestial sphere does my memory is fuzzed
But I know third degree burns still scar the skin of the sky
I would have done anything to say goodbye
It’s hard but not harder than I thought
Distraught learning how hard I would have fought
To keep you here now, now I’m left with the same old fear of
Forever that feels so strong and I don’t think I can wait that long, tell me why does this feel so wrong?
Maybe it’s safe
Maybe it’s safe to run from the sun
But that burn it don’t matter if it’s my turn
Cause I'm jumpin
Im jumpin in
Leavin behind the sound of trumpets or violins
Because it’s not about lose or win
It’s not about baring that grin
It’s about learning to surpass all feeling and taste the light within
