the simple people

please sit back down
can't you see he only wants nothing
when will you wake up
and finally see that all your mundane qualities
are nothing more than heaven to him
it's quite simple
he's only trying to tell you
through his nullifying words
that he is a simple man
accepting only the most complex of people
you will never know what that means
he will drop his head
and you will lift it up with your hands
and look with concern
but you won't know what he's thinking
he's thinking breath
and lungs and brain tissue bleeding
you lift from your knees
and stand
there's a lot more to this
than you think
so please sit back down
can't you see that you're only something
his nothing

very simple
very simple
