i. The streets are empty, love. I can almost find myself between alleys, searching for your hand amidst all this hell. The lights have exploded and I am wondering how good it must feel to burn out. My chest still has claw marks. Do you remember? Do you remember? ii. The air is still, baby. I can almost drown without you in it. Your words are all I hear as I scratch at my lungs in the darkness. iii. My tongue is dry, sweetheart. I can almost taste you. The ropes are tight and snakes are around my ankles, I can't shake them off. iv. The dark is strangling me, honey. I'm almost there It wants me, it wants me I don't know if my eyes are closed or open I am burning out I am still searching.
