"My face on the Ground"
I walk slowly on the frozen ground
With my head stooped eerily down
The air painfully bites like a savage frost
And, here I am, I feel very lost
My heart is shackled in ice
Because the sun in me will never rise
My vulnerable heart is utterly broken
That I can even hear my own tragic requiem
If you dare touch me, I'll feel very cold
I have nothing but faded memories to hold
I have no real sense of direction
Like a blind man, I have lost my vision
The arctic wind crashes against my face
It's thrashing sound offers no peace
But, oh, melancholy
Why are you killing me?
Why are you toying with my memories?
Why pull me deeper into the chasm of distress?
Why color my day with dull gray?
To the cold sheet then I will lay
Yes, I lay on the ground
Its frigidness freezes my face into a frown
Calcifying my tears into beautiful snowflakes
Yet the sadness my heart can never take
But, no matter the biting pain, I will stay
If that is the only way to take the sadness away
But, please tear my heart from my chest
For I cannot take the feeling it provokes between my breasts
For the pain is torturing me
The past is driving me crazy
Oh, I will continue to lay with my face on the ground
If that will numb me and erase the emotion that used to abound
