Quo Vadis - Iris

I sit in the neon glow
Staring in looking for a warm face
And yet all I can see through the glass
Through their piss through their lies
The same reruns of the same women
Turning and prancing over and over
And yet they keep cutting from each frame too indulgent to show your soul
But somehow my heart keeps a steady beat
I can still see the light in their eyes
But I know I only see a memory of what used to be
What used to exist
She's something I could never have
But will long for so endlessly forever
I can still see your face
The pantomime you make
Your skin each layer every pore etched in the gold of the afternoon light
Glittering as the hours pass over it
Near slick in idealism
And no one could call it their own
Never for sale but yet it was right there
Right in my hands
Your pictures of melding and moving and human and animal and yet
I'm nowhere to be found
My fingers can only graze a screen
A barrier cast in glass
I don't need you to be mine
I just want to have a piece of your reality
A piece of your gone time
To see you once more convulse over and over again once more in glittering gold
The reality I've known too well
Ive lost all my questions
All minutia
It all brings me right back here
Right back to your window
And for a second I thought of something real
And for a second I felt the touch of someone real
But then it became nothing but lines
Nothing lines in someone else's script
My dream is someone else's words
Someone else's world
Someone else's script made real on a page
And yet you made me feel
And yet you made me feel
Waves take me over
My body catches another rhythm
The grainy footage almost becomes unbearable and the neon finally washes away
And when I'm left on the floor
And when I'm left lying on the floor
Lying on the floor with pieces of you in my arms
Lying, lined with shards of you slitting open my skin
