she still builds bridges

She builds these golden bridges 
just to try to get closer 
to more of the same 
and she paints all her days 
to look just like the others 
impatiently waiting to crave the tame. 

And she wants to want to sit and stop 
and she wants to be just fine 
while her heart is still made of wires 
that still spark and spatter and pop 

And sometimes she lights her whole world on fire 
just to burn down the orderly mess 
and sometimes she’ll sit much too close to the flames 
just to see if they hurt any less.
