Your words are buzzing in my ears like fireflies illuminating the seats for the nightengale's performance. You said you loved me maybe I love you and you lie, no one loves a soul and a husk. He only has a mask for identity after all, who needs a harlequin when you've got men around?

I take one violin bow on the strings of the body's own melody beating badump-a badump-a badump-a badump-a three beats of the heart meant something sometime. I love you I hate you and sometimes in neurotic crescendo till the heart stopped time to atrophy.

These were the little children on the park we use to hunt down to play with till they screamed and screamed and screamed with laughter and sometimes I wonder why we didn't belong, was it our too crooked fingers or our two glazing eyes marking the way into the unpaved territories of a good monster's mind. Well, I wonder what hope is, a fine feathered friend or a fine feathered judas, or just that delusion that we have futures.

Why can't I wait to be human again?

These lines were stolen from a... play? a show? an opera?

but I miss my Columbine.

I'll break my bones to break you free, they say I know. You're in my heart and soul They say, I know. But it's just another bounded crossroads, five rights don't make a wrong and six wrongs don't make a left but don't seven lefts make a right? we should run you off the road

Sometimes I wish to grow teeth like dentures, and trees like parachutes.

Longing for, whatever they long for, ducks and friends and things. This bridge is too long not to hear their footsteps and I've been wearing this same skin for too long to be saying little rhymes and riddles to my prey, I pray.

why do the children, well, why do the children we used to hunt, well why do the humans get to be children sometimes?

'cause we don't ever take a life.

Tears grow angels from awkward angles in the spiraling maelstrom, but spit grows only tears.

and sometimes I wish I could be human again.
it's hard to write good prose.

I'd call this prosetry. :)
I like your perspectives, and wordplay was quite fantastic.
