You were the one,
The one who kept me strong...

This world is nothing more than an illusion,
One I could never seem to break through...

Ice crystals formed within my veins,
As you spat your poison out...

If only I could speak the words,
The ones held always in my heart...

The colored walls begin to fade,
And memories go blurry...

Smiles painted across familiar faces,
Hiding all the things they've done...

You became the snow that melts,
When the sun begins to glare...

Left out of the crowd,
Kicked when I was down...

Frigid fall morning
arms wrap warmly around me...

My words, a torrent of rain in a destructive...
Fall acidly from my tongue with anger and bitter...

Line after line, scrawled across the page in blue...
Words bleeding onto paper, describing a life...

I have been searching,
striving...
