The tasty lure of self-demise
Out of water,
gasping,
hooked tight…
I didn’t buy the promise,
but I swallowed the line.
Smart enough not to believe;
dumb enough to wait and see.
Watched until blinded,
basked till burned,
and finally addicted to this sun.
You know
you’ve got me where you want me.
You can leave me strung helpless
while promises drift ignored,
like trash tumbled from careless hands
in the sudden rush to snag
an innocent nibble.

is this indicative of what I think it indicates? (esp. in light of the post above)?
I accidentally burned out my psychic-amp machine tapping into stephen hawkins mind, so you'll have to be more clear on what you think it indicates. You can just email me about it. :)
Very tasty work Twisted. I love the whole metaphor.

So true.
