Today

Steep me in happiness, make me believe in perfection where there is none.
Hold me in your dreams, for that is the only place you'll find me.

I'm so cold.

The only warmth I feel is when you're holding me.
But let me go, and I know nothing of my desire.

I've tried to die, and even cheated the reaper of his due more than a few times.
The guards remain high, laughing at me

Laughing at you.

I beg for deliverance in a world where the answers make no difference when I've already decided your future.

It's dark and late now.
Listen to me when I tell you to run.
Run.
Run.
RUN.

And don't look back.
