Fatal Attraction
DISTRACTION
Drowning in the intensity of your stare, I almost forget to breathe. Like an
Insect being studied underneath a microscope , your laser focus is on me.
Squeamish because it's clear that you are predator and I am prey, I
Try to run but it's as if my feet have somehow been muddled . Heart
Racing damn near beating out of my chest, all I can think of is escaping.
Animosity seeps from your pores and I swear I can smell the stench of
Corpse on you. She got away though, or at least that's the story I've
Told myself. This was supposed to have been the highlight of our little
Island getaway. How were we to know that our tour guide led us astray?
One drink too many, roofied by the handsome stranger in the black suit,
Naivety got me here. My world fades to black , as you ensure I never leave.

Hidden Happiness
The world in which we live, is constantly changing, and this applies even more so in these days in which we live. With the implementation of AI into the workplace, people are beginning to fear for their jobs. With the rumors of wars circulating across the globe people are falling into fearful states, that are spurred on by changes, the likes of which we have never in human history, experienced before.

I found this to be deeply emotional, Tee. I love the rhythm of it too, the beat that seems to thrum through the piece, building with each line. Have you considered setting it to music at all?
WOW!
