While world hovers
between
uncertainty and hope
Distancing is the new Cure

In the midst of sheer darkness
Why seek the light
Elsewhere
When you can
Set your soul
On Fire

I drink spirits as a self inflicted madness.
   a welcome respite from mundane day to day.
   scratch in ink upon parchment my truth, be
   that as it may. devils in the details.

   I believe with all my heart tomorrow I will
   see young lovers hand in hand disappear into
   the mist where they do what we all would.
   therein lies my hope the world won't end.

I'll sprout again
  like stubborn sin.
  Kiss me goodbye
  but I'll refuse to die.
  I haunt your heart
  and I won't depart.
  I am a forever stain,
  I won't leave again.
