Lux's Indulgences - 3. Floating

I've decided to air out a few things I wrote in high school and my early undergrad days. Some of it dark, some of it not so much. This first one is something a bit more lyrical, from undergrad. I am not sure exactly what inspired this piece. Maybe this was something to do with Boyfriend Attempt No. 2... Ugh, now that is six months I regret. Maybe someday I'll have a band and this will become a song. Who knows?

Lost in the waves

Waiting for you to

Realize, baby

 

No, I can't speak

No, I can't whisper

You wouldn't hear me

 

Our reality dissolves into detachment

My aching mind now so numb

To the thunderstorm outside

 

Please stop raining down on me, baby

Please stop flooding my desert island

Let the sun shine down for once

 

I don't think you ever really knew me

Well, maybe I never knew you

But I can't change the past

 

You've gone away, pretending

But you keep coming back

Confusing the hell out of me

 

So what is it, baby

Left, right or center

Can you love me?

 

Maybe tomorrow.

Maybe tomorrow, baby.

I'm home.

I will believe you when you say its about an ex-human. He sounds like he was a barrel of laffs. Hope the one(s) that followed were/are better!

My relationships have been a mixed bag of wonders and wounds. That relationship was... I don't even know anymore. I think someday I will write a thorough reflection piece on it. It would probably do me some good. I didn't realize how toxic and damaging the relationship was until years later. I was just a young boy desperate to be loved and scared of being out in the world surrounding. On reflection, though, I could have been writing about someone else I had a long, complex mess of a relationship with as well... Eventually.
