a perfect circle
I made it myself; with my hands
and my blood
and my life
and maybe now you'll be satisfied.

a perfect circle
means perfect unity
should I have
i n c l u d e d y o u
in this?
would you have wanted
to take up your place
(inmyperfectcircle)
anyways?

a perfect circle
means perfect
means no flaws
means
lots of blood
means
lots of pain
means
a cycle
means
it
never
ends

itneverdoesdoesit?

a perfect circle
that I can present to you
when we next meet again.
I'll gift wrap it
nice and pretty
for you, and
by the time you realize
what it is and what I've done
I'll be gone.

Gone from your mind, gone from your life, gone from your heart, gone from your soul. Gone.

a perfect circle
made not just of blood
not just of pain
but extras too
I never even consider this before
What can I say?
I'm excited.

Fantastical nonsense
bringing me
hope
and laughter
and smiles
and fantastical nonsense
keeping me sane at night
when they come knocking at my door

fantastical nonsense
compelled me to make
a perfect circle
if I ever needed it
I would have it
fantastical nonsense
hasn't failed me yet
it's allowed me not to care
to breathe.

fantastical nonsense
and my perfect circle
are keeping me alive
and killing me
and maybe
I like it
maybe
I don't
maybe
I just don't know anymore.

(we don't look back there
never, never
you don't know
what's back there
never, never
you don't know
what it'll do
back there
is not safe
back there
is not good
back there
holds
promises
and
mists
and
pain
and
pleasure
and

a perfect circle
I promise, I was never angry
I promise, I was never scared
I was never anything
but happy to see you
and happy to watch me leave.
