Unwanted

An ultimatum of confusion A prophecy of hurt What has become is undone Rushing thoughts become inert Resting the head on winter earth The ice cusping at the lobes Numbs the ears for sharp words Injecting into the heart's plateau You can hear the breath The words dragging in a clot Like a blade shoved into flesh The mind twists to a slipknot You refuse to eat, to drink You're heart can barely think When you give your love without alert And only gets thrown into the dirt.
