Shallow breaths tremble from my lips,
Eyes glazed by the cold,
Air from my lungs lingering in the air,
Frozen souls that evaporate like ghosts,
Nothingness
Trees wilting in the whitewash sunlight,
Stripped bare and left to die naked,
Left to shrivel in it's own humiliation.
Nature hides in the dark,
It does not dare tread on the snow,
Beneath it's crisp skin lies the remnants,
The remnants of those left to succumb
To the bitter rage of Winter,
The glacial wrath as it torments my world,
Sending it spiralling into an ice age
That buries itself deep into the marrow
Of my quivering bones.
I am saturated in it's Arctic wake.

Today is the day,
Men and women are now free,
To wed their equals.
To all of the Americans, whether you are gay, lesbian or bisexual, I am so happy for you all. The chains of gay marital oppression have finally been loosened. DOMA has been struck down. I wish you all so much happiness for the future, it's your turn to shine! <3

I've picked a fight with the wrong emotion,
I've fallen flat on my face,
And yet I'm still so full of devotion,
To kicking it's *** into place.
Put yourself back in line,
You're just embarrassing yourself,
I really don't have the time,
To take your stuff from the shelf.
Biting at my ankles for attention,
Clawing at my arms for some love,
Wrapped your hands around my neck from the tension,
But I'll beat you if push comes to shove.

I've spent my life thinking where the hell have I been?
Watching days drag on by as I'm stuck in my bed,
It's hard to tell what I have foreseen,
Visions that replay in my head.

Round and round like a spinning wheel,
Over and over again like a song on repeat,
Argued and settled like a deal,
Rising and climbing like a summer heat.

I'm tracking down the trails,
To see where my life has gone without me,
Wasting time and chasing tails,
It's the end of the road I see.

Turning and walking away,
Tracing steps I've already taken,
Going home to start another day,
And start again when my head isn't aching.

The chains you wear around your heart are fastened tight,
You forbid the essence of love and compassion to enter,
You fear the inevitable and bitter sting of heartbreak,
But there is only so much you can hide before those chains will break.

The sudden rush of desire encases you,
Ensnaring the senses you have so cunningly controlled,
Can you feel it?
The stirring in your chest,
The flutter of butterflies in the cage beneath your skin,
The muscles in your stomach tensing as you control the peculiar feeling
Of something that you have alienated yourself from,
A foreign body that seems farther than the edges of the universe.

The chains around your heart have loosened,
And now you have embodied the embrace of love.

When the world is at its end,
I want to tell you my dear friend,
You've helped me fly and achieve the best,
You've ensured my sanity and happiness,
You caught the tears I fearfully shed,
You destroyed the monsters under my bed,
You took the time to talk to me,
You told me I should be free,
To do what I want and what I can,
To heal the pain I'd left to stand,
In the closet where I hide the nightmares,
Covered in the dust of my growing despair,
We burned it down and didn't stay,
And let the wind drag the ashes away.

Thank you friend, you were good to me,
Now let's face the world we will cease to see,
Watch the horizon go up in flames,
Consumed by the sun who refused to be tame,
Watch the sky darken and take our last breath,
We're going to heaven and don't care about death
