Anacrusis

In poetry, an anacrusis (Ancient Greek: ἀνάκρουσις "pushing up") is the lead-in syllables, collectively, that precede the first full foot of a line. Most commonly seen in lines of iambic pentameter, this technique applies a variation on the typical pentameter line causing it to appear at first glance as trochaic. more »

I paint myself on you, the silent wall
My words, my thoughts, my touch, my all
Emotionless, emotionless
So in control of nothingness
This stone-false face you're caged within
Wears thin

You pour yourself out into me, the lonely thirst
Quenching the emptiness within
But I frighten you, I frighten you
I take your breath and smother you
As you fight for your life
I cling on for mine
For mine

So in control, so in control of nothingness
So in control... so in control, afraid to feel
I know you're there somewhere
Too close to touch
I'm digging too deeply
You're too clear to see

I frighten you, I frighten you
I take your breath and smother you
As you fight for your life
I cling on for mine
For mine
