Inside

preserved paranoia
marinating in the purest of fear
tell me, lady in white
what outside force drives us here?
unblinkingly fragile
trembling inside without the touch
have you any thoughts
on why the world burns us so much?
catatonic voyeur
staring breathlessly at all life passing by
do you find yourself choking on the stale air as I do?
such a bold sacrifice, my love
subhuman superwoman
swearing today will be the day
we will allow the kiss of the sun
to dissolve the dangers of leaping through windows
