Nietzsche Always Gets the Girl

Tonight is the way of the mind-will. 
I can't find my way in,
But know I must try.

Other times it crawls from my chest,
Like a spirit baby that punches right through my breastbone.

Tonight is like that time I was sitting on the couch next to that pretty girl,
When I was 13.
Nothing ever happened.

Other times I don't even have to try:
She knocks me down and sucks the life right from my lungs.

Tonight I read back through these lines and think to myself
That I am not getting anywhere.
Why do I even try?

Other times I will read this and be happy
That I did. 

---------------------

You are beautiful,
And I love your eyes.

Dance with me.
