Pollyanna flower

(through you I see us)

Between a broken nose and a fake smile

Between piety and gun powder

Between fighting and fleeing the scene

Between the murder and the normalacy

Between aggression and oblivion

Between the brutal and realistically well behaved

Between the screaming and the pulling in the reins

Between tiptoeing and ambling



What am i to do with all this fire?

(I'd like to hate you but I could never hate you)

Why are you still with me in this red space?

(I'd like to slap you but I could never slap you)



Between violence and silently seething

Between my fist and my pollyanna flower

Between forgetting (or fuck you to) your face and it's alright

Between war and denial

(Twice)



Between flying vases and secretly weeping

Between loose cannons and ever down playing

Between the bruises and the nobly differing

Between bursting and boiling

What am I to do with all this burning?

(I'd like to hurt you but I could never hurt you)

Do I overwhelm you in this place?

(I'd like to kill you but I could never kill you)



Between violence and silently seething

Between my fist and my pollyanna flower

Between forgetting (or fuck you to) your face and it's alright

Between war and denial

(Twice)



What am i to do with all this fire?

Can you understand me in this place?
