The Writing on the veins in my body A story of my forgotten childhood The hidden thoughts wrought into my bones Unattainable comfort lies just beyond My fingertips Promises of something beautiful A song like a sharpened spear That pierces the sky and sea Like the lash of a wound That falls on my brow As a fortress of my own weakness I am slowly forced to my knees As if I became a stone Becoming My own symbolic being Alone (and drowning in silence) The days are detached My body buried deep in the snow Frost piecing bitter kisses (my cheeks) My soul goes bare trying to be free itself from this frozen shell The hidden thoughts wrought into my bones Unattainable comfort lies just beyond My fingertips
