United States of Aa

 
United States of apathy,
United States of anger;
United States of a bastard,
I am the United States of Me.


United States of love,
United States of trust.
United States of dreams,
But I am never free.


United States of disharmony,
United States of tears;
United States of sorrow,
I have become united with my grief.


For attraction leads to speaking
And speaking can lead to a kiss.
A kiss leads us to touch each other
And to touch can lead to sex.


Sex can lead to love
And love can lead to a need for each other,
That is incomparable,
To anything you’ve ever felt before.
For each time you fall in love,
It takes over you like the most addictive drug.


It’s somehow better than the last time,
At least that’s what you think.
But sooner or later you’ll realize,
The pain you felt the last time has reared its ugly head.


United States I wish to heal,
But only I can heal me.
United States of empathy,
I am the United States of Me.
