life is funny.

Feel all right? Feel all right.
Protected from flame? Protected from flame.
-Kenward Elmslie & Joe Brainard

this practice distracts you,
and you don't feel safe.
please, know that you're not alone.
at least, not for now.
i can't make promises about tomorrow.
(don't hate me)
i know, i feel further and further away,
but it won't last forever. (the good or the bad)
but for now, can you tell me you will
feel all right? feel all right

until tomorrow. but i can't make promises.
it was never my strong suit.
i feel you are too strong for me,
i think i will give in.
don't hate me for it,
i know you love me for my strongness.
honestly, this danger feels wrong,
somehow, don't ask me.
i'm just glad. i hope i can keep you
protected from flame? i promise, protected from the flames.
