fall like snowflakes
disappearing into moist pavement
warm embankment
no chance in hell to live

 

frozen words hanging like icicles
from my lips
can't force them out
mechanical emotions shut down
too cold

 

frozen words escaping into a world of fire
dripping draggedly past hungry flame and unquenchable gut
to show you my cold nature
to let you in on my little secret weapon
{i won't care if you don't}

 

for fear of a meltdown
for fear of an entire misunderstanding

 

which was never really misunderstood at all
