I stepped into your soul
And was soon consumed
By the white flames of sensation;
The burning schemes of secrets
And lies soon erupting forward,
Never to be unheard, unfelt
By me.
I ventured deeper and found
Glorious things that
I'd never hoped to see:
Past lovers, clandestine hatred,
False truths, bitter agony,
And the screams of secrets
And lies erupting,
Never to be unheard, unfelt,
Unseen by me.
What I'd seen, I tried to escape,
To run away,
But your own imperfection
Swallowed me whole, brought me
Back to the shimmering hematite caves
Of your soul's secrets and lies
Erupting?
And the crisp shadows overhead
Weaving their threads of secrets
And lies, absolutely crushing me
As I gasp for breath
And drown in those same secrets and lies
Never to be unheard, unfelt, unseen,
Unknown to all but you
For I no longer remain.
