Crush

Safety

Red,

the fire flowing

through my veins.

Caged bird trying to

break from the bonds

I have created.

Your blind, white eyes

don't notice my idle

existence.

Touch my skin,

let me freeze.

I deserve to die

in your light.

If it's ever known

that what I do is wrong,

I will never dare stop.

For hope of catching

your view.

I see you,

hidden under it all.

You're red

and I feel the fire,

fueling the wild bird

inside.

Soon she will be free

and the cage void

of safety.
