Optimist kills you now
Optimist smells and prowls
See its gleam, eyes and howls
Feel its teeth in your mouth
See it kill bitter wound
From the smile, from the swoon
See it breathe down your tongue
Gets afraid just for fun
But it's tender in there
Tries to tell you it cares
Gentle warmth with a hum
Till it splinters your
Lungs--
Too much care to part
Try to skin his heart
Too much care to part
Try to-
Like fractals its eyes turn blue
A siren for minds like you
Its fingers are dipped in sound
All sodden, your love is found
And if you lean closer, hear
The tendrils all cracked from fear
Attempting to heal its pain and cries-
With longing and yearns and sighs
But it's tender in there
Tries to tell you it cares
Gentle warmth with a hum
Till it splinters your
Lungs--
Too much care to part
Try to skin his heart
Too much care to part
Try to-
Too much
Try to
Too much-
