Your heart chokes unbearably tonight
as words you never speak light themselves on fire...

The lanes all draw to the same end,
we know how paths work...

words are raw with meaning
this time; like eulogies...

shades of colours evaporate
and you try to hold poisons to your lips...

'i'll wait a lifetime or two
to get me through...

my soul wishes to ascend
those stairs of heaven...
