Third Degree Burns

This world is small, so, so small,

Everyday it shrinks in size.

But I don’t know how to handle

Three degrees of separation.

I know him. She knows you.

He knows her. It just can’t be.

Is the world really this tiny?

Have we known, gasp,

each other all along?

You know my darkest side,

The one I rarely share.

But now I’m worried;

Are you already in my world?

Should I stop all of it cold

Knowing no good from this will come.

But I’m already addicted;

The attraction is so strong.

Don’t be mad; I just don’t know;

How can I go on?
