Running through streets
With face masks
To filter filthy air.
Cars speed up
For pedestrians
to scare them from
Screens. Headphones
Silence ambulance screams.
Keep telling you more,
Keep telling you more, more, more
than I should.
Keep telling you more,
Because you're the only
One that matters,
Keep telling you more
Because nothing else flatters
To deceive like your eyes
When they light from
The flare of night long dreams.
Tapping at keys to
Calculate losses where
Wins were all you could see.
The tune; a repetition of constant
Rat tat tat, creating figures
Where nothing exists.
Keep telling you more.
Keep telling you more, more, more
Than I should. Can't tell you less,
Can't tell you less
Because you're the only one
Who tells me the rest.
Can't tell you Iess,
Can't tell you less,
Can't tell you lies
Can't tell you anything
But everything I know,
Because I know it's
Only you who will make
Me feel. Feeling loss
For less and less and less
Leaves more to be desired
As we fall.

The rhythm of this is
The rhythm of this is wonderful, capturing the pounding of both feet and thoughts. A real feel of desperation.
