The beat throbs around me
My heart racing ahead of it
the people pulse and thrive
unaware of what is happening
I look everywhere
my breath coming in gasps
trying to keep it together
as everything falls apart
He moves toward me
silent, and knowing
knowing i won't run
knowing that i don't want to
he gets closer and looks at me
his eyes full of triumph
he has found my weak spot
and he continues to squeeze it
the only thing that could stop me
the only thing that could change my mind
lays in his grip, unable to break free
with me able to save or destroy
but unable to choose
and aware as the time ticks by
that the one i love is hurting
because of my choices
and nothing i do now will help
except to trade me for him
so i resign myself
into this demons hands
and watch as my own personal world is destroyed around me
yet everyone else is unaware of what is going down
and i don't blame them for not knowing
i envy them for being away from this
but i know that it will change nothing to have them know
so i let my world burn.
