INSIDE
flickering flames
candlelight burning
my eyes
throwing shadows
of you, of me
and who we used to be
close my eyes
so i won't see
but you're inside of me
can't get away
from the images that persist
lying naked in my mind
tangled eyes touched
burning hearts
arm in arm we cried
for salvation
for release
from the evil we can be
cardboard cutouts
of an old reality
candles set aflame
twisting shadows
into you and me
