Crush

You must know true love never happens onscreen.

We like to watch ourselves projected against the concrete wall

Blurred by the cheap grain of an amateur

We deserve nothing more than to be perfect in our own eyes

As cowards what else did we ever have a hope of

We tried too hard

for documentary status and broke the fourth wall

But there was only enough room for me to slip through,

Now I’m watching you.

You’re not sure where to look.
I'm no less trapped. 

Don’t you know why people watch movies?

So they can experience things they never will.

In fact, maybe true love only happens onscreen.

I’d like to press you against a concrete wall.
