"JOYSTICK"

life is full,

an abundance of choices

rainbow arcades where

nothing remains the same

every gain is just more to lose

the more you have to offer,

the more that can be taken from you

even at my happiest,

my soul is colorblind

seeing in grayscale,

but repulsed by the black and white

i found all my soulmates in murky water,

for me love has never been clear,

lost in the fog of honey pools

drowning in ocean blues,

my new lover reached for my hand,

so tell my why all i thought of was you

life is full of choices,

and mine is full of mistakes

leaving empty bottles in the wake of a broken heart,

i didn't mean to break yours,

i was just playing my part, you played yours

and turned breaking me into an art

a nasty cycle of who has more to lose.

prick my skin with the needle,

create a masterpiece in red

tap into the sap of my soul,

let the frost reach down to your toes,

i want a massacre,

i want to forget about her,

and i want to forget

every single time

i chose

You.
