To Apply

I apply and pray
For incandescent spotlight
To reach my inbox

It took four long years
And now I am the keystone
Performance, granted

They say that I act
They're masked, filled with arrogance
Yet these are my words

Set me free

  • What If She Said

    And what if I asked her the question?
    What if I asked the thing that plagued the mind
    If I coughed out the sentence that would kill her
    And it engulfed her with a pain sharp as a scalpel
    And she laughed until stitches sewed her mouth
  • Alicia Keys

    At night it crusts my eyes
    She breaths out tendrils that snake in and seek out
    For.a year and a half it burned in the third degree
    Her name means "inferno" and yet still
    She riddles my heart with soot
