Don't call this an art project.This is science, this is progress.And don't pretend these are heartfelt words, we areChildren dressed as surgeons but disturbed by the sight of our scars.And now we carry scalpels to trace the scarring resting somewhereOn the line between my house, your heart and into your home.Where you lay sleeping like a ceiling fan in winter,Gently turning as the wind reaches it's fingers through the windowJust to hold you, like I held you.Pressed like a rose between my fingers or like stonesI keep in pockets meant to weigh me underwater.These scars will fade away but never disappear, my dear.We'll raise our fists like lightning to rods to god andIf he strikes us down,Then he strikes us down. But first, let him hear us speak:We are like the legacy of thunderstorms we watched and swore in doorways,we will never be the same again.I can feel you healing and I hate it,(Like a harpist without hands you only bang the stringsYou used to love to touch so much)To hear the dissonance drain violently and then dissolveLike all the songs I sang but never once could make you smile.My god, I would kill to make you smile.And reach out to my hands, soft and frail,To make good on the love that you swear still exists, and still thrivesThough we've buried our bodies in blood (and old lies,Like, I'm fine and you look so much better than himBut don't trust the surgeon with your heart,She's drunk and sips from poison cups, andDon't you trust the scientist,He says life-is-like-a-wineglass as he spills his drinkLike secretsAll across your dress and says:my dear, I must confess, I never thought you ever knew what love was like for real.I never thought you needed me.)
