reality bite



your infatuation for me has been blown out of all proportion
you stand me high above you on some statuesque pedestal
just out of your reach
but that is just leaving me ready for the fall
from your eyes
we could talk
laugh even at the absurdity of our relationship
i am alive
touch me
i shall not shatter into a thousand pieces
close your mind to the dream
and connect with my reality.

  8. I had a very similar take on the picture...loved yours. Pedestals are counterproductive!
