Gripped in steel and ice
A resigned heart beats slowly
For the time being
Gripped in steel and ice
A resigned heart beats slowly
For the time being
This chest’s been empty
A cage only for frigid air
Then you messaged me
Repeat after me,
“I’m alone, but not lonely.”
The silent mirror.
Hey, are you still there?
Whisper in a dark bedroom
Met with dark silence
Plain. Ordinary.
Hardened after some time and
Exposed to the air.
