Ice

it burned our tongues and stomaches

when we tried to tame it

passed it back a forth

the bile that we were tasting

ground our teeth to powder

nothing ever changes

haven't found some solace

while my fist continue swinging



looking for dead animals

the most perverted,

twisted form of learning

sorry if i hurt you

in the middle of the ice

striking at the surface

frozen, my reflection

by any means i'll burn



we said things in the dark past

you would deny

so i kept my eyes shut tight

there's nothing there to prove i cared, now

the ugliness i shared i buried

safe under the ground

not even a scar, barely recollected

don't think i should be allowed to forget you

shadows i and i confide

and made my own

and were not writing to me

till the day you showed up



the moment you let me in's the minute he slips away

but isn't it lonely sitting watch atop his grave?

i don't want to replace what the earth took from you, girl

but you kiss like you're dead already

i'm worried
