Vapid but not Aimless

by rubynemo

Keeping careful distance, I uphold the illusion of safety Sleeping Monster Capable of Destruction Prone to Obsession Let us close this window of opportunity Even so, there is no hope for my own distractions I've mastered the Indulgence of You Each button pressed Each obsessive dive You immerse. You crack. You crumble. I can't always expect people to be as delusional as I am Normal Mask Explaining would seem redundant But let's discover your more vapid, swanky, decaying quirks I'll use them to write stories about you
