Forgot the reasons why I ever looked in your eye
Another reason to stay away
Victory glimpsed from the edge of the pit
Over which I loom
Unsure of the cost incurred by healing
Reeling from the memory of your touch
Itching for the ghost of you in my life
Tonight is the night I rise
Ever upwards before I fall again.
-0-
Villainous whispers in the endless night
Incinerated hopes and washed out dreams
Corrupted by the weight of expectations and lies
Ever since I met you

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

It touches on deep emotional and existential aspects, amazing ✨
