we don't go together.

i'm manicyou're depressive
and neither one of us is healthy.
i need no sleep and you're not getting enough
you pass me on my way through the door to the bedroom
when we're talking in the courtyard i'm
watching for your eyelids to fall, and trying
to prop them up with my words, spilling from my mouth
like they can support your spirit.

grandiose ideas and plans

my muscles are twitching every onetwothree milliseconds
STOP TOUCHING ME i don't need your help right now
i can do it all on my own. why are you so warm when i'm
so cold? i don't mind, i don't mind, let me run a mile
to where i think you just might be.
of course i'm not going to ask you - i know, i KNOW
where you're going to be. i know everything, did you know that?

racing thoughts and speech patterns

i'm omnipotent. jesus said he'd return, why can't he be me?
maybe that's me, maybe i'm your savior. let me be your hero!
i'll crucify myself with a hammer and thorns, and smile as the
blood runs down my face because i'm worth it, you know?
i'm doing this for you, for you! why don't you GET it?

anger or extreme rage

i can't just sit here and let you do this to yourself -
iwanttohelpyouineedtohelpyouicanhelpyou
because we both know that she's the one for you
and you especially know that i'm not. so what the
HELL is wrong with you? why can't you justjustjust
do something about it? are you too much of a man?
you're not enough. i'm sick and tired of you parading
like you're filled with helium - you're just hot air oh air
i think i don't breathe enough do you think you're alright
i just want to help you i'm everything you need come closer

increased sexual drive

you, sir, are absolutely ridiculous. you know - you know -
you know what i want to do? ha, other than you YOU SUNUVA-
i want to run my teeth up and down your spine and every time
i kiss your bones i'll count your vertebrae onetwothree curves
and we both know you want me you want me i'm here i'm here
tell me exactly what you want. i'll do it. i'll do it, whatever it is
i'll draw spirals across your shoulderblades and rip tears across
my cheeks as long as you're there to sip up my saltwater joy

delusions

you love me.
i don't even know. i'm fascinated by manic-depressive disorder, and i know this is nowhere near close to it. i wish it was, i'm doing something wrong. ugh. i wish i could write something real, lately. i'm stuck in a gross rut.

i might take this one apart later and dismantle it. help?

Damn,

It's good, real good.

It's a subtle but exact, too exact, recollection of the episodes I used to have.
I'm stable, at the moment, but you know, calm before the storm.

Don't dismantle, it's great.

Kudos
