Timidity (Or Subtlety)

Generally, only more specific than that?

Please, if that is not too vague.

Whispering assumptions touch my face, and

cold fingers, like winter wind solidified into

ghosts and a smell that lingers in

innocent nostrils.

Enchanted by cancerous eyes that are

too much tombstone.

To fresh, the memory of decaying

melodies played by heartstrings in my innermost

love song,

I can not bare another death, another season laid to waste under

indifference, feigned or otherwise.

I could not handle another moment banished

into forgot exiles and requested reprieves from "reality."

But I grit my teeth to this

fabricated adversity,

this hypochondriac's molehill.

I will tell the devils to be silent,

to watch me grow wings,

not wings of angels or bats,

but wings of a lonely songbird who

relentlessly searches for harmony

in this dissonant world.
