i'll dissolve
like that acid
on your tongue
as you saturate me
in your lies

i'll burn
like that joint
in your mouth
when you can't look
me in the eyes

and you will sting
from the slaps
you never got
each time you
made me cry

Did I fall into a void for a minute while I was thinking?
Did I suddenly disappear away from here while I was blinking?
For so long my absence has played tricks on my mind

I was living every second and yet I forgot to breath
I was totally present and yet completely unaware
I am here and there and everywhere

Where am I now? Who am I?
Have I lost all memory or worse
Have I changed?

Like the leaves in fall or the shedded skin of a snake
I leave an old safe behind in my wake.
And all I feel is fear.
