Analysis of Drifting Swiftly



swiftly I drift, into a blissful Abyss,
 where love doesn't exist, or any associated risk
I pilot this euphoria, with an intoxicating kiss,
instant ability to persist, in resistance
fenced emotions, surrounded by an ocean, of hate,
placed strategically in a world of fate
but this bliss will soon be no more, reality will commence,
along with the beat of a broken heart, light an incense
