Breathe

this vehemence is intruding 
these eyes that are always brooding 
far off, i recall the alluring landscape 
the beauty that confines you keeps me awake 


for the new fervor, i'll not revel 
but I'm to the point i wouldn't care if you're devil 
Second guess my predilection 
How did I get your infection? 
in you, i find perfect perfection 
Don’t think i can hide my ******** 


Could this be just a phase? 
Like my mother use to say? 
Hands lightly scratching the paper 
All the while, i'm stumbling through drunk lips and slurs 
god, am i that sure? 
From the way you have your pencil, 
do you think you'd ever grasp my hand that close? 

Is this coerced? 
Some sort of Curse? 
No time to rehearse 
from seriously getting hurt 
What’s it’s worth? 
What’s the worse? 
This is the worst, but it might have it’s worth 


Too much ecstasy 
You’ve made chaos out of me 
My bones and flesh 
Equally decay 
Help me, breathe 
I’m choking on your debris.
