A longing deep inside like a smoldering fire Only to be suffocated by circumstance and relation Its smoke taking your sight, blinding your eyes Slowly your anticipation of the future is leaving It winters within you, nourishing on your pain and distress Until one day it eats you up from the inside Cast aside all useless trappings you wear And wallow in this euphoria for a moment For soon this sensation will cease And rationality will regain control Set again, the perception is sinking in Free for but a moment, bound for a lifetime A smile on your lips and the taste of blood on your tongue Ever so slightly you give in To the apprehension of consequence Weary have you become, tired of these iron bars Suddenly the flames are growing higher, swallowing the cinders And burning up the surface, your very substance Bursting out, your thoughts dwindle and instinct takes over Resulting in a temporary loss of reason Adherent of devoid the defeat turns into a rancid emotion To give birth to another impulse of rapture Over the years and through the tears These feelings will fester Until the growing despair sends out sparks again
