    My head and heart are in conflict, represented by the contrasting patterns of stripes and polka dots that cause inner turmoil. The distance between desires and reality is too great, leaving a feeling of being forgotten and alone in the darkness. While the other offers vivid experiences, the speaker fears losing themselves and requests the other not overwhelm them with feelings they were not prepared for.

    Hard to Smother

    My head and my heart don't match


    one is wearing stripes while the other has been blinded with polka-dots.
    The constant confrontation of such violent colors makes me want to vomit.
    It hurts and I've already told you I'm afraid of the dark.
    The distance between Venus and Mars is far too vast to expect any sunlight in
    between.
    And I'd much rather be left in myself than to be watered daily, only to soon be
    forgotten and left to wither.
    I had such morbidly beautiful colors without your attendance, how did you
    become invited?
    You are distracting and unsafe, a brilliant wonder I am not sure I am ready to
    taste.
    Please, I was not thirsty until you sprinkled the water.
    Don't drown me in my own bliss.
