beauty shines from all she has
life was lackadaisical back then
but now all i feel is cold towards
people, things, even friends
january drew a sharper knife than i’d ever seen before

because the only thing worse than feeling the sharpest pain in the world
is feeling nothing at all

six or seven walls having been rising around me
and i threw the whole world away because i didn’t want it
only because it didn’t want me

one of the walls will hit me and i will
run around in circles, and circles and circles
until i run run run, straight into you
feeling everything again
