Maybe I wouldn't be so closed off
If you would just look me in the eye.
I don't want to die inside
Just to breath in....

"You are not alone"
Is that so?
Crippled by anger
Tears that drip
Forming rivers
Leading them home
Feeding the lake.

In winter
Never frozen
Yet colder than ice.

In summer
Never less
None evaporated
Hot as a flame
Yet still water.
