Rising to the occasion,<\/p>\n
Making me go crazy<\/p>\n
because of your cold, hard gaze,<\/p>\n
It’s not so loving tonight: merciless mirror.<\/p>\n
Swollen and full of temptations,<\/p>\n
Yet, I am drawn to follow your every move,<\/p>\n
Never leave your shine,<\/p>\n
not like the sun,<\/p>\n
There is no warmth in your light.<\/p>\n
Follow: you lead,<\/p>\n
I get caught in your veil,<\/p>\n
Tonight I marry myself to you.<\/p>\n
Swaddled in the back of my throat,<\/p>\n
The heat simmers,<\/p>\n
My insides feel the sinister burn.<\/p>\n
Caught in your gaze,<\/p>\n
Yes, like a fish, I’m on a hook.<\/p>\n
In your gaze, sinking,<\/p>\n
I’ll wake after you go down,<\/p>\n
Not until it is time to open my eyes,<\/p>\n
Right down to my soul,<\/p>\n
you glow: you go.<\/p>\n
Show me your face,<\/p>\n
your saving grace,<\/p>\n
White lightning train ride,<\/p>\n
Floating on your high,<\/p>\n
In the bottom of the glass goes my pride,<\/p>\n
Nothing left but the chandeliers of my tears,<\/p>\n
Bellowing from all the years,<\/p>\n
Fixed upon you fixed upon me,<\/p>\n
Hooked to the high school highs,<\/p>\n
Loaded on the old school lows,<\/p>\n
Blowing the blues to air,<\/p>\n
Smothered in my own smoke,<\/p>\n
Feeding on my fire,<\/p>\n
On my hunger, you taste,<\/p>\n
Forget-me-not: wake me up not,<\/p>\n
Living to see the sunrise,<\/p>\n
Dying from the moonshine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
