funambule

a jarring noise tears apart the ocean

cold steam running down my spine

carry me where these currents lead

since my input has no weight

don't ask for my views

and realize you both pull leashes over a single harness

i gather my spirits

echoes of a vivid dream keep me in a state of disarray

as the vessel goes adrift i realize the sisters are leading me deeper down the rabbit hole

suspend me here

in mid-water

make me glimpse how it feels to be so hesitant

such a rope-walker when it comes to showing your emotions

your mask is slipping

how can i keep the balance without having to hold on to you

what would it take for you to not wanna

just for once

bait me

and suck me down the bottomless pit of yours

i won't be used

don't expect me to embrace your intentions

lay your eyes on me

i'm purposeless.
