we throw each other a bone
and are surprised
when we all start howling to the Moon
There are ghosts hiding behind my skin,
they come out at night,
and remind me of my sin,

there are red and blue cities within my heart,
they pulse and blur with light,
and remind me I am empty inside.

The ice queen dances on ice so thin,
she calls me out at night,
and waits for the ice to give in.

Sometimes I remain on the shore,
other times I dive right in.

You're deep in thought
As I look your way
Awaiting your glance
To lead you astray
I caught your attention
Like I usually do
There's the smile I sought
I give you mine, too

i thought you cared about how i felt
but as it turns out,
you only cared about not getting caught

you are new hope
for an old soul
you set me on fire
and cool my bones
you've woken me up
from quiet, still sleep
you made my heart sing
where before it would weep
there's a beauty in you
that I didn't see
it snuck in like snow
and set my mind free
there's nothing careful in us
or timid, or mild,
instead there is flame
unbroken, run wild
I am not afraid
I will not back down
because I am me
when you are around
Your words in my mind
Resonate through the hollows
And chase me through time

I'm weak
I struggle
To resist
But not very much

When I give in
My face is frowny
But I hide a smile

I feel shame
But not enough
To make me change

I look for solutions
That aren't too drastic
Even though that's
What I need

When the going
Gets tough
I take a nap
