maybe easy, easy seeming
ask not why, why, why
but an uphill, uphill battle
still i try, try, try
merely brittle, brittle armor
for my heart, heart, heart
it will shatter, shatter quickly
once you start, start, start
out of balance, balance fallen
torn to shreds, shreds, shreds
like a deadly, deadly poison
as it spreads, spreads, spreads
and a thousand, thousand needles
when it stings, stings, stings
only burning, burning anguish
that it brings, brings, brings
with an always, always loaded
smoking gun, gun, gun
for the trigger, trigger threatens
better run, run, run
(2024)
