Smoke in your eyes
Sweat streaks on your face
Blood down my back
and no end in sight
You said…
I said…
More blood spilled
Silence now, nothing in the air but
smoke and anger
Burn it down, then
Watch the pillars crumble
Watch the ashes mix with the snow
Settle in and watch this train wreck
’cause baby we’re going down this time
down for the count
down and out
down for good
Your voice rolls down my skin
puddles at my feet
I’m drowning in your sound waves
It feels like fire, an electric shock
of disappointment
I walk away and you follow
One more lash of the whip
and no end in sight
