Cold

My bones are out to play
Pale against the darkened sky
Jagged and splintered
I'm wary and livid

You said you chose me
But instead you chose the other
The muscle in my chest is weary 

The sky is blue but I am too
Why does my brain wander this way
Faded into the blank sky
Trying to clutch a waterfall

Snow through my fingers
Melting/missing
Missed
