Death



I have ice in my veins today

Haven’t shed a single tear

Definitely have the blues

I just don’t have any tears

Went to church tonight

I wasn’t as emotional

As I had expected

I have nightmares now

Worse even than before

God was there when

The scars were made

When I begged for mercy

I see the world now

For the nightmare it is

Living in slow motion

My black wedding dress

Trails the floor

And there is no comfort

In loves embrace

Death is near me

I feel him lingering

Scalding my breast

And caressing my thighs

Making love to me

In the ten year night

Waiting for me to

Exchange death for freedom

But I can’t I live in

Slow motion with

Ice flowing through my veins

And freezing my

Disease infested heart
