Locked In Clouds of Ice
Black little rivers cover the floor
Red Eyes dreaming in guilty galore
White little lies filled of meaningless décor
Overflowing the sink in tears from my diary
Locked out the world, but it leaks in slowly
Falling apart, drowning in my arms and knees
Dreading this day, this night,
a never ending series
Nauseated in anxiety
wrapped around my skin
cradling me closely
suffocating within
Black little streams
Tear through my eyes down my chin
Bright red eyes sore with worthless emotion
And these white little lies hold me high
but ice thin,
Eventually they’ll break and
This world will shatter in.
