I feel like Chernobyl
Milliseconds before breach,
Yet I am as insignificant
As a pebble on the beach.
Times like skipping stones
Just to see how far they'd get;
Those ripples on the water
Haven't reached the far shore yet.
Becoming one with the unseen... ...sovereign
Will make you king,
But that puppet walking a tightrope
Cannot see who pulls the strings.
Frayed a bit at this end,
I've got my self tied up in nots... ...delayed,
What hits the hardest
Is how quickly you forgot.

Played out in an opiatic aria,
Shattering houses pained with glass;
Laced like broken veins... ...deadblack,
Cut off where wrists were slashed...
I asked you to forgive,
Yet I can't quite recall my crime;
You wield an iron fist
Against a flower on a vine.
Now the blossom withers
Thorns break off in my skin,
And I hear my own voice whisper... ...swearing,
"I will never do this to you again."
