The things that stand between us

I want to be crafted, and to be molded,
To share your cells, and your genes,
If I could wear your skin then I wouldn’t be scolded,
But your decision to neglect is the cement that binds the bricks that stand between us
I want to eat cigarettes and drink gasoline
If you lost me, it is your fault and not mine
You told me that if I held your hand that everything would be fine
But you ran away when I told you that I want everyone to see
I want to be the king,
And I would if it wasn’t for the heavens that stand between us,
You mock me when you sing, when you claim to be in pain
Do not pretend you are not sane, I see you carefully choosing truths that you can skew
I want to be molded, and gasoline is so addictive
The hammer that slams the nails to your death bed,
Is the same one that hammers tangible happiness to my head
So father, brother, sister, friend: when these chemicals consume us
And all the things that should be said are left unsaid,
Please tell me then, what is it that really stands between us?
