Hallow Desire

Reading all the signs, feelings running hard in the night
Ready beyond words, been so long can’t even see straight
Each perfume a flirt, scents assaulting, every nerve sensing
Every smile given a hurt, lips parting just another curse
Don’t stop to talk, couldn’t take even the slightest touch
Keep going right on by, make your way without a word to me

Kindness is killing, sensory deprivation may be the salvation
The season is all trick with no treat, candy doesn’t ever do
Staying in the game means things can’t remain the haunting same
On it goes and goes, what’s another heart beating in malcontent
Each to one that is their own, but those so hanging on alone know
Somewhere in its time, frozen hell thawed in one fiery meant kiss
