Winter

  I feel like a fish out of water 

I can't breathe 

I can't breathe when you touch me like that 

Scars that bone deep 

Bruises the color of bright flowers 

Purple , blue , yellow, 

Printed on me 

Nobody sees it but me 

I'm empty 

I only ride on burnt out existence 

Nobody sees it 

Nobody understands it 

But me 

Don't you see? 

You're clueless are far as I can see 

Thinking this society is made for you and me 

People will talk 

People whisper 

You can't fit into her 

Her as in me 

As in the one who knows how your twisted foggy mind functions 

With its intrusions of manners 

Stay on one thought stay with me 

Don't leave me like this 

I won't function like this 

The marks you left me is what held me 

Now I witness your black soul with bright bodily figure leave me 

How deep in the cold waters I've dove in for 

I can happily drown in misery 

Water fill my lungs 

My lips turn a beautiful blue 

You knew 

And yet you looked at me and smiled on the job you did so well 

I'm cold 

I'm dead
