i am a drone of the probot

you can't hear this violence
you don't know its tongue
i am fluent in autumn
and learning to speak winter

sunlight is a map that
blinds you to the true path
darkness is a guide with
a compass for a soul

we try twice as hard
why try anything hard

run from what you asked for
hide for what it's worth
the time is ticking anyway
shedding skin in seconds

sleeping just beneath you
within you, it cries
ready to assassinate your
guardian angel

we try twice as hard
why try anthing hard

take in all you've urned
die each time you kiss
remember the taste for all
of your days

splinter from their steel
stop pretending to breathe
close your eyes again
fall away

we try twice as hard
why try anything hard
why try anything
why try
why
