Entwined fingers

and spilled tea

God knows what happens when I'm not there

Please, let it happen

When I'm not there

Please don't tear us apart...

Not yet.

Guilt trips and compliments

Rosaries and zen beads

Acceptance and tolerance

Contradictions, hypocrasy,

Lies.

Show me how to believe.

What's it like to be beautiful?

Toxic purple gas floods

The room

But we stay and watch

Anyway.
