Alien


Below my skin I could feel the emotion uprising
 
Pulsing in my veins, exploiting
 
Desperate to find a way to reach the surface;
 
Taking control of its creator
 
Bubbling poison in the path to purity
 
A deathly gas a bit overwhelming, towering over my heart
 
Weaving itself bit by bit between wisdom
 
To exalt the one action desired, trembling
 
An informed overcast of oppression and tainted hearts, colored in caution
 
Hails downward scorning a compelled girl, equipped in silver
 
Bursting at the sight of one overtaken
 
By something lethal over love itself
 
But what if, a case was mistaken?
 
Overlooked bold signals of want, crave, ignorance
 
Artlessly knowing the blessing of common sense
 
Newly not so common
 
Justifying a brewing on an imperative command
 
So seemingly to enclose her in
 
What if, the answer was buried decades beneath the faraway?
