I, The Snake
A longing in wanting to go
Wanting to go back
Feelings were strong and radiant
But came in two's
Couples of hugs and hisses
The bigger I fly
The lower I fall
And I want to
Fall
Fall
Fall
My hair to fall
On my shoulders
On the floor
A fear of being sick
A sickening fear
Am I delusional
To reject the antidote
For these bloody scars
The fangs of my own
Have slithered into my veins
Over and over
Around and around
Only to find I've changed my mind
I start again
Again and again
A snake is a snake
I'm crawling out of my skins
Once more and more
I'm deaf to my own rattle
