“Daffodil Lullabies: Poppy Seeds” - KhatA Poem by FaeryQueeni miss it here....“Daffodil Lullabies:
Poppy Seeds” . . . . . What could I do but
get so enraged by your games; oh, is it my fault again? . Am I blaming you for
all my mistakes? Oh, it’s my fault
again" It’s clearly my turn
to take out the trash, and I’ll go"just let me have one more kiss… Before you let my
hand slip away from you… . Out of the palace
and into the shed, I’ve always wanted an ear to bend… tell me your
weakness"I’ll give you my strength… oh but please if you lose interest, at
least try, and pretend… .*. For 14 minutes, tell
me you love me again… For 14 minutes, take
my hand and hold it and tell me your secrets; for 14 minutes, just give me
direction, coz if it must end"don’t say it right away, at least not for another
14 minutes…. [] Tell me I’m not
beautiful"ease me in slow, tell me you found nothing for you to row this boat.
Tell me its hopeless and tell me that we’re screwed"we’ll never find a way for
us to make it through. [] And tell me that I’m
worthless, like all my lovers’ do, coz honey, I’ll never make another 13
minutes with the likes of you. [] Oh, don’t be so kind
to me, don’t you be so drab… don’t take this away from me; you’re picking at
the scab. You’re making your
rounds, inside this hollow shell, don’t loiter, don’t mess around with this
vessel straight from hell. .*. I’ll never make it
on my own or didn’t you hear? Yes, I need no man-
no, not in here//… tell me about your greatness- go on and puff up your chest,
coz I live to deflate you- coz you know you’re worthless too. . Have you seen my hollow
hole? The one beneath all
that gold? Did you hear me
crying out, “what if I could mend this bout?” Apparition
overdrive- you meant to watch this life go by, Nothing ventured,
nothing gained That’s what I am
living for; to feed the pain .*. Hey now- haughty
stranger, pull down the blinds…we almost made it to a month you know- that was
quite nice. All my fears are
solidifying, mimicking ice- but colder than the coldest 6-sided dice. [] How much more of
this can I take? 9 more minutes and
then 9 more days… if it’s the end of us, don’t you stay- baby, jump in the
water; face your fate. . . . . Know that I get
paranoid and know that I get quite scared, know that most of my secrets end up
mentally impaired. Know that the sun is shining on the other side, I won’t get
held up by your incredulous goodbyes.
