i could offer
an uneasy smile
to cover things
that aren't so nice to      ...show?

yes, i can be
so nuerotic, angel,
i can be the cat's meow,
a dismal delight      ...now,

stuck between
your winsom darting
hearts, i ask you
take me//let me tumble      ...down.

all of me
wicked twisted me,
candy coated me
sweetart, dear heart      ...me,

follow me,
my promises are
lifted smiles in tainted eyes
whispering "come to me"
in an ancient language     ...touch me...
          ...i am
          ...that i might know
          ...this dear disease
          ...you give to me
