    I slowly proceed to pretend to care in slow motion,
    Some harness of truth leaves you offended from that offer,
    Modern times aren’t so nice
    And it tends to be displayed in brackets
    Where crowds can see and jeer and laugh
    accordingly to the score...

    We can pretend to touch
    Or we can continue to pretend to stumble unto
    One another’s bodies,
    Layers and layers we fall unto one another
    Terrified and humbled at what we find,
    Jealous to find how much kinder you are than I....

    At night, sometimes I wish you didn’t exist,
    It honestly keeps me up,
    I unfurl my hair,
    Curl my toes,
    And wish I could pry my
    dead grandmothers ring off your frigid finger ...

    the first two lines, eh

    the first line particularly, "i slowly proceed to pretend to care" sounds like "glababababa" if you say "glaba..." aloud

    "i pretend to care in slow motion" sounds good enough

    "from" that offer? "by" that offer? harness/leaves is an odd combo

    i really like the brackets thing

    you lost me at the second stanza, or you pretended me out of the picture

    there's a lot of "we are one" in the second stanza and it ends in a "you are more one than i are" sort of way

    i like the last stanza, it's good for me

    "it keeps me up as i unfurl my hair,
    curl my toes and wish
    i could pry my dead grandmother's ring
    off your frigid finger"

    i dunno, maybe not, but that was my shot



    good stuff, i dig
