Untouchable

We are untouchable
a face drawn on napkins
a sound made up of songs
Moving wordless
motionless at the vision
of your untouchable face.
Perhaps the blood in our veins
has changed colors so many
times. Perhaps the lies
linger lonely lovingly.
Enough of awkward goodbyes.
Enough of brave words
of love hidden so deeply
we don't see it ourselves.
The answers are not clear
darlin, not enough color
in these magic pens
to fill the spaces in.
When it matches
the lies and the truths
When it makes sense to you
make some noise -
so that in the silence
i can trace your image
and little darlin
it shall be as my own.
Go on now, be gone,
play with your toys.
I don't have anymore clues
to reveal for the show.
My act is up as I bow
knowing there will be
many more who shall
take my leading role.
There in a far away land
you began explaining
a little more.  Still though
you haven't spelled it out
dear -- who am I? Other
than a picture of myself.
Who are you? I shall
never force you to
come up with new ideas
new excuses new connections
new lies -- please just
take your time to be
clear and real.  Don't
you know that I know
the lines of the scripts?
Please reveal yourself
without the practiced
fuck you's.  It's all
so cheap.
