1. junkie

A Chapter by Jordan Williams

you speak and speak, but you're not speaking to me

without keeping, you reach through the speech you breathe

tested ears dub those sounds disposable

retrieve and bury it til it grows in full


a devotional junkie hearing every word sung

everyday i wish i could find something new to love

take my slumbered passion, awake and inflate it

but it's hard to give something when you can't even take it


you reach and reach, but you're not breaching me

promises while speaking turned problems bereaved

despondent hearts now shown knowable

reprieve incomplete, not grown in fools


an emotional junkie yearning for a new drug

everyday i wish i could find someone new to love

my impenetrable fort longs to be invaded

the holed up kindness to not be gated


i breach and breach, but content teaches me

schemes are easy feats but need more to succeed

responsive mind with no blood flowable

leaving unoriginality to grow from a fool


a devotional junkie digging under the sun

everyday i wish i could make something new to love

and pour out more rounds no one anticipated

of profound newness no forerunner created


teach me and teach me, til i beam with dreams

that keep me in sleep as each day recedes

progressive hands make each goal step showable

believed to be able to grow in full


an emotional junkie under-dosed, overstrung

everyday i want to be someone new to love

an appetite for insight still not satiated

truth only proven to be easily evaded
