Hide

Chapped skin
Blue from the surrounding chill
Slush running through veins
Soft thuds of a hidden heart
Pleading for the mouth to be unsewn
To feel the warmth
Radiating from your arms
A body shies away
While the mind clings tighter
Your eternity of solitude
Has only begun
A vow of silence
So the ice does not melt
So the warmth of the fire
Does not scald your breakable digits.
Hide away
With your singed off thumbprints
And your empty eyes
Disappear into the frost.
Escape.
