i should start to accept this
it's going to happen
the jekyll and hyde of you
it exist in him and i refuse to believe
that i make this change
but we all do don't we?
we circle each other awkwardly
an uneven revolution
magnets with repelling attractions
can't get close enough to know you
can't get close
but i see you
know that downward facing dog look
as my own
know slumped shouldered distance
as shyness overrun
im her too many times before
im him too
but this time its weird
i want to touch you
can't get close
our orbits take us out of our own
atmospheres
make you a distant constellation
on an even farther hemisphere..
dr jekyll and mr hyde
you explode when under the light
when in front of the eyes
become a totally different object to behold
the energy you keep under wraps
explodes..
who are you?
under the streetlamps you tell me
it's shyness..
two different cats inhabit your domicile
how do the two connect if ever
how do the two both manage to stimulate
my affections in your direction
make me wonder
how else do you flip
is this something i should be keeping my eye on?
do you go from dr. romance to mr. slap your ass
i just wonder..
how do you mange the two sides of you
and if i were to know you
which side would you reveal
Dr. smooth or Mr. poetry
Dr. Shy or Mr. Fierce word play
Dr. jekyll or Mr. Hyde
makes me wonder..
which one i should get used to...
which one should i expect..
i should learn to accept this..
