Pleasure Systems
The Maze
I saw it as a window, I saw it in a frame
Rephrased as something different
Abstracting my worst pain

But I lost it in the rain
It got carried away
I will lay down in the maze
It will find me every day

I was hoping for a portal
Thought I could write my way back to you
Reinvent you as immortal
But my voice wavered out of tune

And I lost it in the wind
Floating embers, aching skin
I never know where to begin
Looking outside, looking in

I saw you in the garden, you were showing me the sky
Our limbs became the flowers
Our petals intertwined
