September Smoke


it would be a lie
if I didn’t say I was
on the edge of something
where even breath refuses
to stay in my lungs
utterances of deceptions
has caused angry echoes
in a bottomless cavern
yet,    I long to be on
the ground where you are
my skin has been unzipped
and I find I am – exposed
I do not want to be right
for there is no bonus in losing
all I want is,   to be
but again, I got too close to
an uncontrollable raging fire
and all that is left is the burn
and a scar that will never fade

just some words cut out
from the diary of my heart

can see you there
with mirrors
looking back at you

and they all smile
as friends

Oh, oh, oh ... I have known this smoke
and survived to extinguish the fire~
