~Rhetoric~

you caught me
in your glow
at just
the
right time

every house
has a personality
ours just
likes to
be heard

good people
don't destroy
people's life
and call
it noble

I've seen
some strange things
in my day
but this
takes the cake

even the
walls seem
to shiver
but we'll do it
we'll get
out of here

I will
make it
a personal mission
to protect
your heart
though I
don't know
exactly how
to feel

I haven't
found it yet
but I know
what I'm looking for

cut through
the ash
soft and still
crumbling walls
are trembling
won't you
come a
little closer?
dust blown
by the wind

well they
say madness
is the closest
thing to genius
so walk away
it;s all
so full of
rhetoric
looking exotic
the more
I see
the less
I am
sure of
