PROJECT REBUILD

Radiation

I stand in front of you, with a feeling of impending doom 

Just us two, the only people in the room 

I try to run for the door 

But I'm super-glued to the floor 

You give me The Look 

And around me things begin to cook 

The sofa bursts into flames 

Fear urges me to call out your name

Of me even croaking out a sound 

The heat from your eyes makes the room go round 

I reach out for the wall

But my vision begins to fall

Yet you still aim The Look my way 

Unwavering, as if to say "I'm here to stay"

Then somehow you hear my cries 

You hear my parched looking eyes

You know I've had enough 

Later that night 

I don't feel right 

Granted, I did survive 

and still I was alive 

But oh how I ache all over 

Because of The Look, because of the Lover 

Because of his radiance

Because of his existance.
