this feeling is like a quick wind
the kind that turns into bitter cold
it fills my lungs with violent purpose
reaching deeper into my restless soul

but how could this be fatal?
or maybe fatal is what i long for
to know that kind of ancient fear

because safety is far too lonely,
it never fills these pages with feeling

and that is far too reckless

---

if this is a raging fire
you are the gasoline i pour
seeping deep into my cracks,
slowly filling my insecurities
and all my frightened self

but this cold love is also living recklessly

---

i want you intertwined within my fingers
i want your mind to wander and fall
deep within the caverns my own lonely fate

---

help me stay. keep me still. forever breathing

but there are words that remain unsaid
behind closed lips, against your tongue

and all i want
is to stay alive
feeding off each syllable
you might someday bleed
