torch

[zarlon]

did anyone ever tell you
that you were the cause of all this?
you can ... feel the radiation from my hands
when i press them against idle foreheads
and then it's all like years ago hadn't consumed me
blinding blackening sickening everything
tips of fingers the noise is deafening
and if you take anything
just make sure it's my love for you
i can push strands of hair from my eyes
and feel the snow melting into my arms
but being alone just isn't the same without you ...
feel the cold tear into our painfully open eyelids
and open the doors to the lake

i'll take a swim
if you'll drag me down with you.
