I Love Us! Written to the song “Here”: by Alessia Cara

We live and laugh and lust and play; and more this life, this grandeur, this village of pistols; and more his eyes—to speak his heart—a partial psychopath; but aren’t we all, cased in music, and taking notes.     I remember for secrets, and “Bet not tells!” and a hell of visions; for there were ghosts, to exit his soul, and phantom eyes.     I cry this fever, to tap for in, to lie for happiness; and act as if; and daughter moved, and father jolted, a series of chides…and what was it, to finally shift, to seal analysis…for something feels, beyond emoted, to fall his lot…and where for light, a walking wraith, to meet for kinds; and power shared, and power gained, to give more power.     I see a woman, to protect what’s hers, and damn good at it; but there are cries, to whelm a soul, to strike a flame; and god came, to climb a tree, to get perspective; in which were hearts, and triple beats, to infuse for wrong.     This is love; and ever to want; and ever to have; where purple is scars, and thoughts that follow, to usher a locomotive; but what for her eyes—for something lives, even hypnosis.     I must envision, and stream a ghost, even a kindred soul; but what for grandeur—to live it and perish, to speak to self?     I ask—longing and living and quite for distant.     I know the motive, to die a spaceship, to watch for Jones’ Town…and this is life, to buy for sale…to guard a daughter; and what for this, to wrestle and losing, to believe for winning?     This is us: somewhat anti; and this is us: somewhat cutthroat; for life is struggle, to meet for wise, to want to unravel; and love is blind, a ride of grandeur, to paint a perfect smile; and must to know, the way we love, fully a portrait; to see for arms, and give for arms, to see right through it; in which is love, to take a hand, to see it worldwide…I love us!
