Fire Lit Lies ~-in smoking truths-~

By elisa

today i watched
as a train passed by
in absolute silence

...on days like this
he drowns
the sound of the world
with static wonders of
'what'
to even
'wonder'
if anything at all

i feel him
bleeding words
of fear
in the cold
approach of loneliness
though...

i would die forever
to save him from
Nothing.
