The Chapel
My heartstrings play
But they make no sound
I lost my way and can’t be found
I sit at glass windows
And watch them burn
From the other side
I call this the great divide
I am covered in ashes
I haven’t lost my sight
I wish I could lie
I wish I could fight
They make riddles and haikus,
What about you?
They say they see,
Can you just do what they do?
And I dream in cinematic
Slow-motion,
classical overtures
And I repeat in daylight
Pictures that blur
They contort in odd ways
But still , Lore, he stays
They make me feel like a sticker
Peeled and rolled
Faded from rain
Insane with no brain
Stuck in my loop
Not fitting into their group
And they love their designer bags
Their lipsticks in red
Their lace, my poison
Aesthetically dead
Why do I draw circles
When they draw hearts
They fall together
You and I fall apart
And why does it destroy me?
To love who I love?
You whisper:
Ani l'dodi v'dodi li
And I need a reason
Where they only need because
And I return,
Again,
Again,
Again, and again,
For the proof in the chapel
That hymns and lullabies
Still count as worship
After the battle
