If my eyes are candles in the window there to guide your way home.
Then your's are a beacon on a rocky shore, there to guide all the people you forced to sail across an unforgiving sea, just so they can see what its like to you.
(But not everyone enjoys being thrashed by waves.)
Each beat of your heart is just another icy wave slamming against the creaking boards of a ship.
You specially built it for them with molding wood.
Did you know that water makes it decay faster?
(Yes you did.)
Your icy lips leaves trails of frost bite over their skin.
(Your love bites.)
They send them spiraling into back clenching shivers.
(You don't want to tell them that its warmer somewhere else.)
I tell you that I'm warm even though my skin has turned blue and icicles have begun to sweat from my pores.
(To you I'm the warmest thing you've ever touched.)

Retrospection
We beg for mercy,
to be pardoned
of a sin not of
our own volition;
to escape what
haunts the mind
through dreams
and distorted images.
There is an escape,
but it seems far-fetched,
and it only leads
to further damnation.
Breaking the silence
with a subtle scream;
still the heart is
shattered with memories.

Doll
The still doll
Behind the glass
Is only watching
The time pass
The antique doll
Gathers dust
As she watches
Metal rust
As she watches
Memories fade
As the time
Passes away
She doesn't know
She isn't real
That still doll
She can't feel
Literature
Discern
I can take
a hint without
taking offense,
without affecting
my sense of self,
but it's so hard
to tell who is real.
