I feel something slice my cheek It sends shivers through my bones My blood is boiling But the hurt keeps hell frozen over How does something drift But somehow permanently stay I try to reach out But my tongue is tied with decisions I did reach out But you blanketed the truth with promises of the future The blanket that covers me Thawed my own frozen hell How long until my pores burst How long until my bones crack How long until my cheeks tear How long until you see these promises of the future are barely keeping me here I need more reassurance
