Inferno

Grass tickling my feet
Slightly out of breath
Sweat trickling down my neck
Oddly gratifying

Music playing on an endless loop
Rhythm of the words resounding in my brain and bones
The slight drizzle conjuring a sweet pattern
Cold eternally settled under my skin and bones

Something's not right
It was starting to mock me
Ersatz emotion
When did I go wrong?

I was selling
My today and tomorrow
For something fictitious
Stuck in a limbo

Tomorrow was now today
The hours had gone by so fast
Like water dripping between the cracks of my fingers
The cadence of my footsteps suddenly too loud

Faking a laugh that almost
Almost sounded real even to my ears
Words stuck in my throat like poison
Where did I go wrong?




Faking a laugh that almost Almost sounded real even to my ears Words stuck in my throat like poison Where did I go wrong?
