Metaphorically Literal

You find it clever
Did it take you weeks to dig this up
Scratch the surface with a thought
Cradle it, in its fragile state
Pick up the phone, but don't call
Hold the filter in your fingers
They don't know what's going on
You couldnt see your own reflection
cuz you were staring into something frozen
They've come to see your mystery
Now give them what they want
Show the red hot plunder
Stolen
Unacknowledged
Flat lining until
someone else takes it from you
Fuck it, she was frozen
They all were
clever
with filters between their fingers
fragile eyes with no reflection
Scratch and dig to find that the
mystery is gone
