[A C I D]

a lonely street at night
all but one light broke
cold rain, not refreshing
no, it’s acid.

moving forward through the myst
no car or man in sight
no stars or moon in the sky
the rain starts to tear on my skin

eyes watering up
or is it the rain dripping from my hair?
clutching my wet jacket
it’s slowly starting to dissolve

i feel like this city goes on forever
trapped in a maze of sealed crossroads
being washed down into the sewers
once there’s nothing left of me

ice cold streaks down my face
is it your voice?
are these my tears?
no, it’s acid.
