...If I...Crash...

By Peyton1

...If I...Crash...
I am as lost in time -- Mirage...no way back.
Systems intertwine -- Sabotage...a digital hack.

Fractured rock in space -- Drifting...twisted and then spurned.
I haven't now my place -- Shifting...unsettled and then burned.

Illusion once out of control -- Pretense...love same as alone.
Screams within a black hole -- Intense...flesh same as bone.

Look there's a star -- Unbreakable...weathered and scarred.
I gaze at it off afar -- Unreachable...tethered and barred.

If I...Crash into you -- Reflection...perception of altered retrospection.
If I....Fear the truth -- Deception...intersection of lethal injection......
...If I...Crash...

    This is amazing. The emotions so powerful...the imagery just sucking you into it...like you yourself will fall. It's executed brilliantly!
