My shattered self
So unconscious for words
Skates on the thrill
Slides on the ache
On my island of hope
Looks fear in the heart
Holds yearning that close
Blindfolds the mind
Strips to the bone
Trades soul for a sin
And the power within
Overwrites right and wrong
Ices longing with a tune
Makes my world hold its breath
For a second of truth
While I can’t find words
As emotions run loose
Never felt this and now
Never hurt, hoped and wished
Never lost my own self
In someone so far
Who am I, I can’t see
Hold the pieces of me
Cut my hands, bleed my heart
And dissolve in the night
All I was, all I am
With your shadow inflamed…
