sleeping

i am fighting fire with fire
i am fighting heat with heat
increasing friction
i am increasing heart beats

there's a call down the street
sirens blaring
voices tearing
silence failing
to ease the hearts of the wailing

there's a distant breeze
flying by our faces
it erases and replaces
the atlas and the map
of this world
of our bodies
and everything we've ever known

there was no doubt that it was you
who took away our hope
and our freedom of choice
our voice
my voice
our decision to rejoice
there was no other
who could have been bolder
stronger
braver
it was you
only you
