Unless

pt. 1
pt. 2
And now for something completely different?




let us play with Magic, for I know for what I'm fallin'
oh how I dare to do this; come at me not as my Steed, but a strapping Stallion
I am nevermore ready for all your perfect lies' perfect storm,
for once I'm yours, bastard Horse, there ain't no turnin' back

when you stare succinctly in my eyes, I feel I oughtn't recognise,
and though I daren't look much more south, I take a break unto your mouth
oh my, what large teeth you sport!; I wonder when's your last resort
so what time is it, Mister Wolf? - the straw that broke your Camel's back

so 'fore you shut all your doors, grow to abhor all you swore,
lest we whore as I hoar, evermore looking for something more,
might this be worth the chance that we could soar? — or are you turning back?

Memphis might I sink my teeth in, so Mother may I take control?
is mise ar na muinnea na Muice — you'll have to pry this from my lifeless corpse
lest we over-exaggerate (sic), stress-testing the hyperbole (sic)
are we done to death yet?; are we flogging at the deadest Horse?

nay

and if you were to wear my face yet, would it be a prize, or worse, a steal?
now you don't have to be the lone Wolf, nor I break all these Butterflies upon the wheel
no, now I know now you need not your pace set, yet still manage to so rarely feel
as though delving in the deepest debt, I'm striking up a Devil's deal:

when you sink so softly in my eyes, I fear I ought apologise:
as as I feel this chilling drouth, I chance a glance into your mouth
what are these Mongrel Canines I behold? yeah, you yet keep your cards close as I fold
Honey Bunny Mister Wolf, feel free to make your choice — I'll turn my back



And so, naïve as ever we were, we made a promise to each other.
Though as it turned out, neither of us truly understood the concept of love — nor forever.

I don't really understand the significance of what you're saying.

I shall be sure to let you know when and if I find myself in possession of an infinite amount of anything.

This was something I wrote today in the space of an hour or so, largely about my feelings for one person. Though he's seen it, he hasn't shown any indication that he knows it's about him. Perhaps he doesn't want me to probably think him so Vayne, perhaps he recognises it's personal and would be embarrassed to guess wrong, but almost certainly it's occurred to him. We sort of back-and-forth a lot and he asked me out a couple of days ago. What fun!

The whole piece is based on animalism and distortions of metaphors pertaining to animals. He made a comment that we two are like sheep following each other, though conditionally one could be a wolf in sheep's clothing, but didn't specify who he thought was which. I don't mind sinking my teeth into such a notion — but should he be my dark horse (as could make sense whichever way this is spun), I don't much want a loyal steed, rather an independent and powerful stallion. Though I believe looking a gift horse in the mouth, and self-sabotage as a whole, come very naturally to me.

The first verse, I suppose, is very much a perversion of that one Katy Perry song and I initially started my scribbling when I was linked to this.

tbh i don't think anyone would know something as verbose and prose-y as this would be about them

if it's meant to be a romantic gesture i'd suggest being more forward, (most) guys are kind of clueless when it comes to these kinds of hints. at the very least you could say 'hey i wrote this for you'

but congrats on the date hope it goes well

Unless

There were a few direct quotes of things he's said within the past few days up on which I'd hoped he'd pick. I'm not rightly sure it's meant to be a romantic gesture as such, this is just... a bit. A proper relationship is impossible for a number of reasons as well, so mostly we just humour each other. I'll let him know for definite a day or two after the other thread dies, so I can see what his uncoloured opinion might be, should he feel like sharing.

this was for me oh cool thank you

It's like I'm actually reading Unless's diary.

It honestly feels really odd to read poetic prose in verbal slang.

Too edgy for you, it's just what comes to mind. A glimpse into my head that's so rotten you'd need a down bleach just to save yourself because I'm so irreparable. I live in a mental asylum - oh, but it's a special one where we're allowed on the internet and everything! I have gone through many different psychiatrists but they keep leaving because I make them quit because I'm too much to handle. I shoot cocaine and snort heroin all the time to help me forget who I am because that helps. The police used to come around my house a lot but they don't bother any more because they never find anything out of place, despite all the rumours by the people who cross the street as I walk down it. Yes I'm 16! Just because I'm younger doesn't mean I can't have gone through worse than you have!

It's a love song of sorts with wordplay based mainly on phrases and sayings relating to animals.
