Intoxicated
Split second
Flash fixated
Thoughts threatened
Mind mending
Deliriously
Drunk

I live in the distraction of a moment
where weeks to come don't matter
and consequences are more insignificant
than my lackluster nature

I live in a optimistic state of failure
where halfhearted attempts bear my burdens alone
and duties are more meaningless
than my feeble mentality

I'm the tip of the match that you strike
to light a good world on fire
a delicate little firecracker
I teeter on the edge of chaos
and the tighter you hold on,
the louder I become
But protect me you try
to dunk me in water, make me fire proof
vain efforts they last a minute,
but a minute is all you get
I'm serene in looks
but tempestuous in motion
I am the spawn of rage and mercy

We are two halves of a broken heart
but we belong to different donors

I don't know love,
just proximity
