Ash in my fire Harness my desire Cool my flames This kind of martyrdom has caressed my soul And at times i wish to be defamed As insane as that sounds The solid ground upon which I was standing has been shaken Transfixed into a new vessel's identity dreaming I wouldn't be lying if I said that I wish to run screaming Though with the upgrades coursing my system redeeming This thought is but fleeting I wish to know, do you see this flow clandestine in the making? With only ephemeral woe, the words I chose to toss on throes can only meld into this conviction For I must confess i look best unkempt I feel that scruffy look whispers my hidden contempt This life's diluted, sweet smiles all the while twisted and bent Don't fret emotions spent now my dearest of loves I hear a sigh from my brethren above As they watch me write lines on parchment inclined to my predisposition Listen to me now dear, it is not conditioned and the furthest from fiction As pretentious as it sounds I get shivers With simultaneous joy As I see your eyes glisten
