Can't Shake You

We are actors
We are lovers too.
We are killers
with the back-stage crew.

You are in your neverland and
I can't shake you from my dream.


You shine your knives living other lives
Yet we pass glances at our different selves
Knowing full well of the
acts, the loves, the sharpening of knives.

I will not not give up knowing.
I give in.

Dream lover,
Connected soul,
Unsolved armored trooper.

Seven on seven and into the night.
Dashing the lights, camera shy in the fire fight.

I dance with your
embers that eat me away
like coals in the fire.
