I am killing time, on the waiting line. I sit with nothing but, the fire is still burning. I remember the ways you forgot to be skinned alive by lust, the hunger of 'why shouldn't I', and why should I stay here? When you feel differently, need to be convinced. When I am not enough. Like, hardly anyone at all. Who you are, who you've been I caught a glimpse, one gloomy night, as we dragged our souls into the dark. Just as you fell asleep. Just as I turned you off. I held on tightly to your heart and beyond and above. I placed myself under your skin, so your fears would not, drag you away from me. Cut you up entirely, but I was. I am full of holes. Genuinely, you escaped right through me and with the flaws, pierced to the scenery, I end up discovering new empty spaces. What might have been lost, a heart or more. I caught a glimpse of, what now is to ignore, a heart or more. So I am killing time, as you run away. I've been told to wait silently. You haven't got very far yet, so I moved in and got close. 'Ain't got no time for shivers', you urged. Wait silently, 'cause as far as endings go dearest, the fire is still burning. As I unravel, as I increase my torture, I am not bothered. As I hit the bottom, as I play with dolls and corpses, as the lips are upon the smile of another. As I search through the ashes of our fire, as I end up where I started. 'Cause I know who you are and nothing is as good as you are; love. 11
