alluring lullaby

I don’t trust you.

I am desperately trying to bury my roots into others

But the gentle tendrils are shivering from the bite of the wind that howls in my ear.

I am entranced by your deep pools of blue

And that little smirk that lights up your face

But how am I supposed to know if these waters are safe?

My heartbeat keeps ricocheting inside of my head and I can painfully hear each gasp of breath I take

I don’t trust anyone.

All around me are smiling faces

But they are smoky and hazy

Who are these ghosts that keep calling my name?

I walk alone on this path.

Is the anxiety that pounds against my tender rib cages real?

Is anything real?

Or does everything exist in a resounding multitude within the caverns of my own mind?

These questions keep whispering in a sultry tone

Velvet against my shivering ear

 

What an alluring lullaby.
