I.
I'm in love with ideals, Love loves itself. A shallow gust grazes my soul. A pendant of longing weighs me down, I fly. That beautiful starving child; Limbless from gluttony. I skip a beat, and another, Then sober my high with fears of forever. II. The rain refills my tears. A car drives past, two? It doesn't matter. My Id erupts as Desire freezes over. "Our Father..." The vicar coughs. I don't listen, and leave him with his box. Heaven burns a thought into my heart, It hurts. Ants are moving mountains, While I hide with my disease. The new-born disgusts me, Youth has all dried up. The sun offers life, While this solemn pastel sky Is laced with death. III. Fly the flags at half-mast, The sun has set, The tide is out, The crane is long gone. Our balding head turns slightly grey. "Not I!" We taunt, "I can't die!" Survival is just a game. People start asking for your next of kin, And silently you realise, You're not going to win.
