Sweetened Tea

I have taken shots of the dark, running aground, mindlessly breaking under tow
Where is that solemn day? Fallen into atrophy, unable to wrap these pulped knuckles as I have prayed and fasted to an empty sky
The tiny dagger like hands ask for help, but sorry, you're not sick enough for us to care

I have been given strong trees, but my water poisons their bark
I inherit a mind of wonder, but the heroes in my book have all moved on
I was given a dandelion, that could not grow in my cracks

There is endless rancor, and I have grown tired
I can't offer you a word of hope nor a long and weary traveled ray of sunlight
This Earth's dirt spits into my soles, we cannot walk out of here

Put my hopes down resentfully as they weep and pray, n'evr enough green to cover those horrid thorns
A statue learned to shed nothing, in moss coated granite
In an unmoving ground I have elucubrated a remedy, in capsules that know naught color

Aged eyes grow exhausted circles, faithful to a hospital bed taut with restraints
Because I am, I will be in solitude, a lesson August's light never lets rest
I am broken ostentatious displays not worthy of your time, unable to carve a smile

Can you keep your head up? Can you resist sorrow's attempt to hurt you?
Amist a sea of tarnished rubies, you were the last and best light of the evening
I have tried everything, only to cut my sails, the future failed to change me

The things others have seen, hide from my view
The feelings have become fleeting I once held so dear
It bitterly breaks my heart

There once was an angel who fell in love with a fern
And I was given a dandelion that could not grow in my cracks
When your eyes meet, I miss you

You can't leave ice cream out or it'll melt you can try to save it by putting it in the freezer
but it's never the same or as good the second time

She was my ice cream i never stopped trying to make it taste the same it only got worse over time
i was the fool and I forced her to be too cold
