fingers rolling against keys, electricity speeding down through nerves and sending minds alight
chapped lips spilling words and excuses for lies that follow the turns of the night
toes seeking comfort, heads tilting back to soak in the hysteria and kaleidic glow
all to come crashing down to mindless work and sepia shows
frosted breath, petrichor sparkling on dewy, after-wispy leaves
chasing away the harsh, burning light that crashes down on your dreams
into ash, carried far away, far away, high above mountains and below river brooks
to remind you of the days that fly by and all the time you took
from my starved, bleeding heart and gushing retinas, spilling vision
like water from the heavens, speeding for atomic collision
in mind-splintering pieces the world rains and rages
stories hidden behind walls and childhood memories tucked into cages
fairies mumble secrets in my ears while lies spill from my lips
candles leaving trails of smoke among the stars, drained to their wicks
i wish it weren't true, I wish skin could be peeled back to reveal something new
i wish it weren't true, I wish it weren't true
Me
and
you.
