Peppermint

Push me, watch me.
I’ve hardly got your headache
-Drowning in space-
I am a delusion
Tie me down.
So I don’t fly away.

A gust of wind
Cuts me off as I speak to you
And I’m swept under the dust
With gunner and icy
Shelled out my star crossed * heart,
-Pierced with poison ivy-

(look right through me)

I’m kind of sad.
Here all alone

Don’t tell me
I don’t know anything

I am nothing in his happening sense of self
And god, if only he could hear me.
I’d scream.

"I am a delusion/ Tie me down./ So I don't fly away" is shiny, I like that lots. And making up words rocks... keep experimenting, it's working well.
