too intense
is absurdity
when life is
so short
that is simply
fear talking

we cannot
control
our reactions
nor should we
apologize for
the chemicals
in our brains

so when
nothing makes
any sense
you have to
embrace the
insanity and
wrench back
on those short
and curlies
until it
submits
to your
indomitable
will

take my
hand
and let me
show you
an inferno
from the
inside out
we can etch
our initials
in the ashes
and let the
scientists
try to
explain the
scenes of our
many crimes

i am a
bottomless well
of madness
tinted emotion
and baby
the fuse is
already racing
toward the dynamite
on the last bridge
to any sort
of safe haven

you gather
the feathers
i got the wax
no matter how
many tries it takes
we will touch the sun
or leave scars
so deep
they will never
forget our names
