Burn.

[rewiiired]

Falling out of reason,
into a vast, vibratory sea again
yearning for something
that for so long I have condemned

for I want to die
like I did, wrapped up in you
I want to exhale
as your presence has always allowed me to

before I chose as always to simply walk away,
carried by a chronic breeze
lost in the struggle between the dual desires
to be close and to be free

Changing seasons, I don't know
down which path I'll turn
the poison's still alive in me, clawing,
making my thick blood burn

for I want to live like I did
before you died and turned your head
but I'm on fire, and it grows,
and I fear burning that same old bridge again.

Very nice. What was your inspiration for this one?

 

[rewiiired]

Just thinking about a girl I used to know. And the infinite regrets and fears. And how I always seemed to fuck us up.

Do you play an instrument/sing in a band? If you do, you have some great lyrics man. I only wish I could write great songs/poems.

 

[rewiiired]

And I only wish I could sing and play in a band.

Thank you, though.

I really liked the idea of being consumed both by fire as well by desire. Great use of metaphor
