sublime distraction holding me awake
obliterated by passion
hemmed in by fate
this must be terror
but it feels like glee
aches just like love
and cheers like misery
hiding in plain sight
‘cause no one cares to look
strings are snapping in two
by the ton
body no longer rigid
nothing left that upholds
see the rain douse the flames
see the puppet dance
on her own
