i imagine you

to be so;
a song of unplugged melodies and raw vocals
so madly alive as to draw breath with sensation akin to pain
the songs you hear only them bridges; the flicker
of truth between the planks of pretense
vivid, splendid colours

and the song titles, painful in their very curtness and exceeding, reluctant honesty
things i don't understand;
whispers on your doorstep;
the smile plaster;
another day begins

oh, for this love, this life, that courses through your veins
