Cover up

You keep soaring over waves
in my mind
these porcelin rays
of days
I felt calm
death dances all around
begs you to tango
when you least expect it
I play your shining star
when I zip up my dress
wear my hair
the way you like
every woman is
some man's
pretty twinkle in his eyes
on his heart
sworn backwards
and upside down
across his pants
and what lies beneath
but I keep on allowing it to be
the way I dispise
when it's time to do something for me
I spit fire
draw crowds
when I least expect
at the death of the
drama queen
who frequents the right side of my brain
and Boy, you fill up the void of the love who left me
three times
more empty
when he left
because we always need something
to strive for
and I keep on losing
feel that, 'Why am I even here?' feeling
because I feel so loved
but I still fit in nowhere
I drive my car into the sunset
and you draw yourself into me
I am in love
but more so
the sunsets beckon me
the little scattered seeds
]and your big bulge does nothing for me
because no one wants to expose their most private thing
their vulnerable piece of emptiness
but they will
show you their cock
voluptous breasts
warm stomachs
and boy, you've already built  your bridge
to the fortress of my heart
but it's your job to try and get inside
if you like
or if you'd rather not
I'd certainly understand
I am free without the ladder
to climb to the top
I still can see
the twinkling Midwest lights bellow
when I close my eyes
