Ice Water - revised

Leaking through my veins,

Seeping past my heart

It freezes my soul,

Can’t get past the cold

air of the dark-

ness

that I breathe in,

Scream to fight off

But it won’t stay off

I’m betrayed and I’m frayed to shards of

an old ghost:

Lost my glow

Lost that elected touch.

 

Oh I want the goodness,

But the goodness don’t want me.

Or could it be I’ve fought

for too long, now it

seems i’m not as strong due to

desensibility, ******* the passion out of me

I’m made to resonate kindness

Emulate a bright bliss

But I grab for transience,

Trading that omniscient light for a couple cents

In comparison, where’s that dream of intelligence

busting from my heart and spirit’s senses,

Now I spend my days hopping fences,

breathing relentlessly heaving from thinking,

endlessly drinking, my mind has been sinking

and I am seemingly drowned out,

Found out,

I’m nothing without some fearlessness,

I called out some where in the Out There

My ears shut out the world,

at last, my last inch of hope is straining

to pick up a sound,

gracefully deigning to

reach me:

 

I’m not a lost soul,

adrift in some dark cold

sea on an isolated glacier

composed of only lonesomeness,

and ice water.
