i am a fraud

these songs

carry
me only
so
far

there are only
so many
three-and-
a-half
minute
distractions
i can
use
to ward off
the Silence

before
it finds
me

finally

smothers
me
with its
dark
embrace



1am


and a note
from a
different
world,

a world
of
light words
and touches
and

Love...
with
its eyelashes
and
soft pinkie
fingers
comforting
embraces
whispering lips
and
bubble toes
and your hair
that surrounds
like
a halo
your beautiful
sleeping
face


just one note
from another
era

to shatter
the facade
of my
three-and-
a-half
minute
lives of
distraction

all
i
can
feel
all i
can
feel
all i can
feel
all
i
can
feel

this song now
is
four minutes
long
and with it
comes
the Tears


2am now,
and it stays
on repeat
all i
can feel
all i can feel
all
i

can feel
all i
can
feel
all i can feel all i
can
feel
all
i can
feel
all i can
feel
all i can feel
all
i
can
feel
all
i can
feel
all i can feel
all i can feel
all i can feel
all i can feel
all
i
can
feel
all i
can feel
all
i
can feel
all i can
feel
all i
can
feel
all
i
can
feel
all
i can
feel all i
can feel all
i can feel all i can
feel
all i can feel
all i can feel all
i can feel
all i can
feel all
i can
feel
all
i
can
feel

what's left behind?
