Words.

Are there no ends to the tricks you can make words perform?

I want in.

I want in.
In on your consciousness
what makes you tick
float
fly -
fall.
I wanna know
exactly
what fucks you uop
so that you'll stand there
with the same dark look
on your face
as I've had in my heart
(if that's not too cliched)
for all this time.
I want in.
In on your mentality.
what burns you
hurts you
what brings tears
to those gorgeous dark eyes
I wanna make you cry
want to feel you tremble
and laugh softly in your ear
as I promise
between hard bites
and gentle kisses
that everything'll be all right.
I want that power,
that control.
I want in.
In on what makes mayhem
appear on that calm
(too calm)
exterior
what'll put chinks in the glass mask
end the facilitation
of this facade
(because I love the way that word looks)
what will return you
to regulation mode -
hit control and some combo of
computer keys
to fix this problem.
I want in.
In on the secret that you've been keeping
hiding
holding
like it's something you've never shared
before.
I want in
on the madness
the muchness
the mindless
that you spend your days with
tripping over glass-shod
skies
and pieces of plastic minds -
those people you can't stand to be around
to laugh around
exist around,
but who you fool around with
because you're good at it.
You're good at that game.
I can't play People to save my life
or yours
and I wouldn't.
I play secrets
and promises
and I play persons,
one being at a time,
each against himself
or herself
until she's in love with me,
worships me,
thinks the world of me
dies because of me.
When he's existing because I let him,
give him enough confidence -
self-worth,
self-import
that he thinks he can face anything
as long as my words have got his back.
They wanted in.
But in on a scam
doesn't give the same
level of rush
as in
on what you think is real.
Not the same as the in
I want in
In on you,
what makes you fall apart,
because I want in
on the pieces you leave behind.
