Its cold…
Snow cascades outside -
Its somewhere, but not here.
Comin down in buckets. I cant touch it,
But I feel it.
Its cold…
Hatred explodes outside -
Its everywhere, even in here,
Taking me under, so consuming. I cant feel it,

Lead life in the bubble
Only present lit, future and past left

The fact that alone, the message can’t be [...]

I’ll take these ashes and draw lines under my eyes.
Surprised?
They’re from the bridges burned from black flame.
I’m pretty when I’m compressed and from nothing less,
