Intent To Pacify

this page i turn
this page i burn off
this scene i frame
to keep it far away
stop and breathe a long extension
the pace might slightly tilt
turn and face this wrong dimension
of faces that were once known
how can you honestly say
that youre content with me
for the first time
set this down
right before you
this page i turn
comes unwound
all around you
this scene i frame
crashing down
for the first time
set this down
in all its worth
the words fall faster
the meaning i saw
couldnt fall farther
from the truth
in this brief moment away
the process speeds to slow
without this comfort in me
the flame burns to low
how can you honestly say
that youre content with me
