Midsummer Night’s Dream
And what about you
As if you can’t see yourself covered in mud
And there you stood
Against my rigorous words I’d stowed away so long
Where does the time go?
We ask ourselves rhetorics
While pretending we enjoy it
And you’re still lying
Despite my melancholy mood
summer should be hiding
And I start to wonder if its me
Your slow reproach
a stark reminder
Of my blustering impatience
I’ll never say when
Enough never seems to be enough
Perhaps you see that
You recognize my demons

but you cant seem to
Bring yours out into the fray
Whats the use
Did I ever really mean anything to you?
These patriarchal games
Silencing my name
You’re not the first to try to box me in
I can’t let you win
Will I be forced to rinse this all out in the wash?
Unsteady and unstuck
Our problems vivid reflections of our souls
I know you know
Behind my illusion is a mirror you cant keep clear of
I show you everything that you just love to hate
It must be fate
Your arch enemy coincides with me
But you’re already so deeply lost with me.
