Shaking hands with the inferno.
Made a new deal.
Signed away my laughs for sad notes.
The page is an empty audience.
The crackling gossips are mental.
Here I am against the warmth.
Be that of the sun,
Downpouring lava,
Or the holds of a sweater.
A frozen heart begins to thaw.
My eyes are stuck in place.
Vibrating in a crazed state –
As pleads come in leaked streams.
Traversing snowy lands –
As the inferno pursuits.
Melting the vibrancy of the whites –
In exchange for grittier realities.
Defences say it is prettier than it is.
Where was I all this time,
Amidst my soul and his panic attacks?
Relaxing behind the comfy curtains,
Wrapped up to lazy schedules.
My soul laid there with its limbs in ashes.
I am a traitor.
Fight for different causes.
The cause I’m against.
Friends, I have my suspicions.
My paranoia switches in flashes.
In a snap, I lash out at you.
Just because your colours changed.
My love, you’re no longer the same.
I shook hands with this blaze.
I could definitely put it out.
Even if it kills me,
But for the sake of my loved ones.
It is a sacrifice I’d love to make.
