the glass reaches out and grazes my cheek
its cold grip encompassing me
the surface shiny and sleek

it etches deep into my soul
every single imperfection
each taking their rightful toll

much, much too much
so sorry to tell you
binding's not that good of a crutch

the planets and stars
have aligned right here and now
to say you're a ****

she is the sunset
leading on towards golden twilight
bonfires and fireflies
on a hot summer night

she is spring violets
gentle and kind
blooming, healing, helping
letting me clear my mind

she is the autumn leaves
never dreary or dull
leaving me excited
even for winter's sleepy lull

she is the first snow
a wordless glance
a warm hug
a hopeful chance

the anger festers lowly
hiding in my bones
it aches so loudly to me
a dull and lifeless tone

i want to sleep an eternity
finally let me rest
it turns into absurdity;
the things that cause me stress

i wish that i was free
from inside this empty home
i need to find the key
to let my tired heart roam

it tears into me, hurting
rips the veins out of my skin
i wish life wasn’t disconcerting
with its methods of sink or swim
