Mask yourself in a smile

as your dull mind

drips all over your shoes.

Light a candle for yourself,

I'll watch you burn

and laugh.

I've ran marathons

that lasted longer than

your act.

The floorboards breathe,

you suffocate them

with your stance.

So cold and so harsh

no amount of sun

will warm

your icebox soul.

I won't be the fool

to shovel your needs

into my driveway.

I will slowly drift myself

further from the blackened energy

that breeds in your presence.
