Outbound

I thought the night was darkest

Till I saw the corners of your mind,

But I never knew such emptiness

Till I reached inside your eye.

Expectations aren't an illusion

That distortion can't reflect;

Before I was so certain,

Now you have more in all respects.

We who live outbound just don't take in.

We crave for more, desire burns right through our skin.

Yet indulgence remains a sin.

So I'll lose this game. I just can't win.
