The Deadly Desire

One, two, three, four

My heart beats like a madman at the door

My legs struggle to keep a stand

My mind is noisy like an unrehearsed band

My palms become sweaty

My lips start to slur words that are petty

One, two, three

My body has planted a massive anxiety seed

My tangled hair creeps from behind my shoulder

My voice tries to grip on my throat to make it sound bolder

My eyes start to slowly drown in tears

My teeth grind firmly with my fears

One, two

I look up to see faceless figures in a crew

I am trying to figure out how to be set

But all I gain is a little bit more sweat

Ringing starts floating in the air

Muffled screams seem to greatly care

I don’t want to be around

And rather be deep underground

One

My mind swallows the sun

My mouth quivers slightly

My face never lights brightly

My heart stops beating

People start seating

It grows dark

I try not to bark

The cold is smothering

I find it loving

Say goodbye

Here’s to my last sigh

And desire
