trojan

we find ourselves stranded
in the desert
we know we must part
and we stay glued to the imprints
of the tracks we leave in each others'
dust

you couldn't slither away quicker, and
my feet couldn't carry me further
and faster from the truth
that i have avoid.ed

we'd end up near it
and so close to the flame

un.apologetic
we'd seed the scene

fuel and fan the flames
oh so pretty flickering
just so gorgeous to watch its burning
the recklessnes of letting it all go
no regrets
altruism at its best
to let it go undone
undid we did
it couldn't be less

oh so pretty, flickering
oh so petty bickering
oh so,
unapologetic we'd seed
the scene

and i couldn't run faster
in these fury, these flames
in the desert we found our.selves
moving across these sands in opposite
directions
bipeds we depend
on movement toward
something.someone

ended we undid
the revelry of watching
it burn to the ground
in the desert
we were glued to the imprint
the tracks we left,
though you should know
that i did bestow
the most cruel and undetected
trojan
