Shallow Nerd

You don't see beyond the flesh that decorates that smile.
You're just a number tucked away in the bottom of a file.
Flash and crash, splash and dash, insignificant as dust.
That layer of chrome was painted all over the rust.

Body, mind, spirit died a perfect circle ago.
Broken links of chain forever lost and more.
Whole again never as you cursed the soul away.
Insignificant denier as your mask crashes away.

You are ugly as your art and drier than that wine.
Toss your glass, lament the loss and lay as low, supine.
On that fence yet on both sides, my love I search for you.
Tear that poster, show your pain with that raw gentle blue.

Why can't you heal inside out, dance the blisters away?
Why can't you strum your guitar the mathematical way?
Categorizing your clothes by colour and never ever by price.
Will this final awakening in rainbow rush suffice?

I hide I hide to seek the dawn that hails the blackened sun.
On mountain tops that dead plants love in the summer-rerun.
I will never find either of your footprints in the ocean of hormones.
Stumble, grin, cavort, distort the dredge of skin and bones.
