playin peekaboo...

i aint had that look in years.
peekin back at me from the other side of the mirror.
is there life in there i must've missed?
protecting me from the way its been kissed.
savorin the thought so i wont forget.
i thought i saw it come from behind my eyes n shit.
that twinkle in my design jus needed to see me.
lost here on this end of the reflections dream.
in a mess thats gotten outta hand.
i saw the ol' me take notice n say damn.
as the other me went n covered up with the emotion rippin a tare.
jus rolled over n poof, jus me n this image that only stares.
i know ur in there.
i can feel u n ur scared.
but u ain't the only one mutha fucka.
we were in this together n yeah i still luv ya.
lets go jus one more fuckin round n give her somethin to believe in.
this worlds lonely enough for best friends the go missin.
face me!
there's nothin more in the past tense to leak.
come out n play in a world in which u walk so dead inside.
even deeper within me, leavin me hidden in plain sight.
i know ur alive n this is happenin now.
allow me to speak ur words let loose by my mouth.
as one, whole n runnin like when we were kids.
ur not a coward for not wantin to be hurt by loose lips.
i know u n where u are dippin in between the cracks u fear.
old friend... there's no life in shattered mirrors.
look at me!
shit happens n life is shorter than breaths taken in by flings.
u cannot cuddle the chill that shivers in the bone.
roamin beneath fingertips n shyin from what they've done shown.
i seen u jus a moment ago in wonder of where i've been.
so here i am, without u spread to fuckin thin.
connected to u through this wild version of us where imagination comes to life.
jus wantin my best friend to resurface n help me crawl from these endless nights.
i can't keep gettin stuck in the shape of a silhlouette in the absence of light.
not if u ain't gonna straighten up my poster n do whats right.
it's u n i the way it has always been.
as decades has claimed the individuality we dig.
separated by an other that tore pieces to own us both.
need not in bein a chip upon the shoulders rope.
we've been hangin in the glass for far to long.
when nothin but bein stubborn is the only thing that's gone wrong.
i luv me as the i that is u as us n we're we as one.
are u with me if i told u i was ready to go home...?
