A char burned wasted life
Completely f**ked dry
Withered skin like cracked glass
And empty nightmares more fulfilling than dreams
This is the distance between us
My unapologetic knife in your back
I will ruin you
I will be the end of it all
Hold your screams deep inside
Your connection with me a mere sigh
Like droplets of poisoned blood
Everything I say is counterfeit
Everything I’ve hoped for has disappeared
Swearing by your name
Cannot make my heart resonate
Will not bring me to normal consciousness
Never anything you wanted
What you needed existed like film
Deep below my flesh
Yet just above my sickened soul
If I could only extract it
Through any means of surgery
A modest severed contemplation-
If I knew anything more than I am
I wouldn’t have to be afraid of you
Why aren’t you afraid
Of me?
