From my poised image spills poison,

To others I pay no regard,

you watch from below,

As I push to the front from a far,

The silence drowns me,

The silent keep me still,

 

I reach for my horizon stretching my body still,

From my fingers stretch your image who pays me no regard,

blind me with your poison,

while anticipation bubbles up inside and far,

Take away the floor below me,

hold onto me,

 

Float in the image intertwined within me, 

reach below,

embrace my solitude and my regard,

you're silent, you're still, 

Your shadow swallows me, you're so far,

speak a word, spit your poison,

 

thin friction, ablaze, poison, 

like gasoline, through the flames, would you reach towards me?

voices from below,

rejection from above, show mercy! Show regard,

and yet still,

I push forward, ignoring my intuition, I reach far, 

 

push, pull, bend, eat me alive, leave, go far,

as you watch from below,

I reached for my horizon my fingers grazing the surface, alone and still,

silent laced poison,

colliding with me,

leave, lose yourself in my eyes, regard,

 

regard, regard, regard, 

nothing below,

sit still,

Consume your poison,

lay with me,

slumber far, far, far,

 

I ask myself 500 hundred questions, sauntering inside me,

cave in and collapse below,

do you regard me to be so far in your eyes or am I simply poisoning your soul.
