the spiral takes place
in your heart
in your soul
and on your face
it'll knock you down
spit you out
twist your mind
and linger about
the spiral, what pain
the journey, the spaces
all these empty places
they leave you insane
unexpected interests
(un)desired love
unrelenting emotions
used to feeling numb
the affect is collateral
the hurting are told
handing out pieces
not meant to be sold
the spiral takes place
in your soul
and on the faces of the people
who see the pain you hold.
