Full lustre poetry

Sometimes I feel like my best friends are total strangers
Sometimes I feel like total strangers don't want to be my friend

Sometimes I feel like music's telling me to leave
Sometimes I feel like leaving music out of it

Sometimes I like to pretend like I know what the word love is supposed to be
Sometimes I pretend to have to care about her


She's elusive, but only because I'm more elusive than her
She's confident because she wants to be there for me

Flowing like a river; cool and remote like a dancing girl
Burning me with fire; hot in proximity like a flame

The poet and the pendulum sway with each other;
they know how to swing
from one life
to another.
