There was once a time where
I felt so strongly
Within me was an eagerness
cradled by a fire that only
inexperience could kindle
I plunged blindly into
the depths of feeling
unaware that death lied ahead
but o the death did come
with it's menacing smoky
pain. Paralyzed me like a shock,
electricity unexpected and cold
Left me dumped in the stagnant
waters of struck-down lovers
who hadn't quite learned yet
Here I float
face down and
all the wiser
