Power

Follow, conflict
Individual against time
Standstill, constrict
Together intertwined
Inside, outside
Fireplace, cold crawlspace
Heart beating fast
Feelings moving slow
Fragmented aspect
Viewer’s analysis
Running through a field
Thousands of miles away
Sliding through the sheets piled neatly each day
Hot stone, cool brick
Ice road that isn’t slick
You’ve been caught in the net
I laughed as you wept
Feelings moving fast
Heart beating slow
I’m inside you’re out
The stories twisted, no doubt
Stop
Now take a look around
This is what you’ve done
You made me into
What I’ve slowly become
