Veins

Behind my eyes

There’s a fierce intensity

 

I breathe a false air

I separate true destiny

 

The past and the future

Hearing the call finally

 

Within a realm of shattered proportions

I ask the walls to lie

 

They wrote a different story for me

Withdrawal, I would comply

 

Should I live?

Yes, someone says… selfishly

 

You’d claim emotions

I have always lost me

 

I walk around

With an enormous planet

 

It sits on top me

I’m drinking all the oceans

And all the seas

 

No connections to draw on

No protection to feed on

 

Wet and *****

In a rainy mélange

 

I drink my spirit

I swallow my soul

Because it’s synthetic

It’s not my own.
