—SUNSET’S BEEN A FREAK SHOW

 

 burn

 

drop me in

the smoke

i’m ready

to burn and

die out

it’s been  

too long

since i

caught fire

and found

my reward

i keep getting

farther from

my myself

like a shadow

on the lam

the days paper-thin

and unreliable

they never could

hold me like

i need to

be held

and it’s no

one’s fault

maybe genetics

maybe mine

yet everyone i love

is running

out of time

running from

the flames

fixated on

childhood games

so drop me

in the smoke

it’s okay

go ahead

i’m actually eager

and ready as

i’ll ever be
