Look in my eyes
Together we rise
Flames of fire
That never cease
To burn
Isolation & cut off
From wherever you are
Feel you compare me to
A gnarly scar
I reached the high rise
Of names still nameless
Feelings dance quiet
Halls
There’s a hole in the universe
I stuff my tongue in
Loneliness blooms idle
Boring loss of ecstatic fast
Life
Madness sneaks a peak
Peek a boo
