i’m selfish
borrowed love, no return
shiftless
crows pick through carrion
frigid
unresponsive, frozen in time
formless
never there when you needed — me
i’m scared
of losing myself
compromised
tucked my tail and hid
trapped inside
hunger of mine
greed
cold calculated
self-serving
bond
selfish
frigid
i’m scared of losing myself
never there when you needed me
our love
a lake frozen over
i’ll never be warm enough to bring the thaw

Thorns to Bloom

It takes so much pain to change.
four days of warmth
three months of grey
false sense of comfort
brought by foolish optimism
a single flower bloomed in front of our home
i hoped i would too
we were trampled into the soil
a beautiful decay
ambition eclipsed by expectations
i take responsibility
but i constantly imagine blooming into something perennial
forming a security i crave
they died while perusing their dream
but i think it was the dream that killed them
passions burn the brightest
against a cold dark backdrop
is it too late for me?
the sun sets for another night
the cold frightening
is it too late for me?
It takes so much pain to change.

rain pours down
freezing on the branches
suspended in the moment
bending but not yet breaking
more and more and more
fluids freeze and crack under stress
stale winter air
cuts to the bone
still i move forward
faltering with every step i take
more and more and more
assuming burdens just to progress
overextension
to breaking point
disjoined limbs collapse leaving holes in our home
i was doing this for our future
but my present is thin
try to ameliorate
this painted world i’ve made
overextension
to breaking point
disjoined limbs collapse leaving holes in our home
(spread too thin) too distant to repair the damage before the cold sets in
“it’ll all be worth it”
echoing in my skull
frostbite takes my limbs and
i become one with the dirt
to better myself
i’m killing myself
