A darkening pulse beating rapidly- As my blood runs cold-so cold And yet the heat returns to my lifeless body Denying me of all that I beg for Life-freedom-and most of all death Even my plea for numbness As feeling remains in tact. A corset of lies wrapped around me Now pulling tightly against me --Tighter- It’s getting hard to breathe And I glance behind me Only to find you pulling the strings. Left out in the cold-- --An open book for the taking And you read through the pages of my life --Can't stop you this time--I can't even stop myself As you throw me back into your closet --Locking me away till you choose to look through my once more.
-Surrendering the little freedom I have- -Had I forfeit to your demands A silent pleading resigns in my throat --Words of hatred at my tongue As I bite down- I can’t face the words So I throw them away Into the gutter in which I belong. Your hand--an ice cube down my back --Can't bear your touch any longer As you turn my heart to ice.
A broken cry lingers here Within my forgotten memories --My dreams Till the wind carries it away Back into the past-where it belongs. (Yet it still haunts me..) I build a plastic world around myself And stare back with empty eyes --Detached- I remain emotionless --I can’t let myself do this for you And I surrender myself to the unforgiving waves Don’t let me forget. (I’ll never forget.)
