Frozen Tears
A world viewed through cold eyes creates
frozen tears & hardened emotions
Going through the motions only solidifies
the pain as salty feelings
cut like ice sickles impaling warm veins
These feelings bleed out into the
streets of our minds that were constructed
upon old structures & paradigms in vain
At times I feign ignorance of these
false foundations because ignorance
is bliss
knowing burying my head in the
sand could be hit or miss
No one is at home in this batters box
& it would be remiss of me to not
mention this paradox
The glass half empty view if full
of contradictions no one wants
to see through
& in a world viewed through cold eyes
tears are frozen before they've
had a chance to cry
Dry ice falls & shatters leaving
you to pick up the pieces
as if gathering your emotions
isn't hard enough in this season
