A Human Certainty - Saccharine Trust

Don’t come in here

You’ll see something ugly

It’s not the kind of thing

You’d expect from a body

Don’t come in here

Don’t see me this way

With my knees on rice

And a prayer for the prey

My face is heavy

My mind is clenched

My eyes are disgusted

My hands are hot

My walls are green

My walls are red

I only cry wolf

When all my sheep are dead

Don’t come in here

I beg of you

Yes there’s love in my heart

But there’s hatred in my thoughts

Don’t believe in me

Or anything that speaks

For you won’t be deceived

By a human certainty

My face is heavy

My mind is clenched

My eyes are disgusted

My hands are hot

My walls are green

My walls are red

I only cry wolf

When all my sheep are dead

Last night I had a dream about you

And in my dream you were only

Asleep I sat in a chair and watched

You as you laid there so beautifully

The still of the night made me lonely

I wanted to touch you.

I wanted

To feel you.

I wanted things to be

Just like they rise to be except I’d

Keep all my promises the I felt

So ashamed

I was so ashamed until

I realized we’re all guilty of that dream

And forever I wish you

A beautiful sleep
