Layers, layers, built up in my head
Agony, agony, until I'm dead
Peel this apart, so I can rest
Deep as bones, all full of dread
Ready to spill
These cosmic colors
Reds and blues cascade like fools
Spilling out such empty hues
Dying to feel
These eldritch horrors
I'd rather be damned
Than see the inside of that coffin again
Feeling breath
In idle hours
I now lament
How I ran from you
Hungry for a touch
Struck against this anchored rock
Friction left us spent
Trying to ignite the dead
Longing to connect
Desperate neurons retrospect
Seeking dopamine's domain
To let this thing live
Steady to kill
Hands laced with impulse powder
Caught in lungs
And placed in pockets
Lend me your lust
I watch the storm from orbit
Untethered yet tied up
Brought down from the heavens
Holding to the fire's edge
Against a force centrifugal
Compelled and yet set free again
Clutching words repetitive
Press me between pages
Open like a book
Turn me into fire light
With nothing but a look
Splashed against my skull
Inner eyelids paint the skies
A brilliant shade of incomplete
An aching eternal tired
Lay me down in sunshine
Raise me up in fog
In these idle hours
How I long to run
Back into your pathways
Synapses line up
Booby-trapped but coming back
Carving the path I want
Prepared to be emptied
And taste the infinite
Burn like an effigy
Until ash is
All That's Left
