Vacuum Eyes


trauma? me? mother?
what set you astray?
a, b, c, other
if other, please say

why you

"don't care" what people think
can't talk about yourself
can't laugh without a drink
don't care about your health

the air whirls - absorb it
i am sequined with stars!
as i twirl, they orbit
emit and hide your scars

they're not that bad, are they?
you haven't told me shit
hermetic, you can't pray
can i help? just a bit?

i'll provide a slipstream
for us to stay out late!
club tonight's tried space-theme
please tell me, i'll relate

and let me see your eyes
what was the big event?
hold me, i'll take their cries
imbibe whatever's pent

let's chill and find a flick
spielberg! nostalgia time!
or just cuddle - you pick
if i'm with you, i'm fine

i am

but you're not, i see
forced to act natural
inhale, and tell me
please, was it gradual?

I'm off to go meet lots of people for a night out, a couple of whom I made a bad first impression on a while ago. I don't socialise much: I'm making myself do this. Despite feeling like I'm definitely gonna regret it, I know that a greater regret would come in not having tried. I only know one of the people I'm going to see, and it's her birthday so she probably won't have much time for me.

Time to make some good first impressions.
