you meaningless distraction of destruction

i will be okay
cascading towers that stay lit at night
keep me company
feel alone in your abandoned suburb
i roam around the faceless crowd
losing my fear of desertion far
there is no reason for your arrival here
no one needs you here
no one craves you here
yet i welcome you inside
offering tea
before you throw it in my face
and leave like clockwork
tick tock
burnt eyelashes
