Wraith
Silently working its way
Through my body,
Eating away all the connections
All the emotions.
A poison's running through me,
Severing any ties to
Those whom I oncefound to be anchors
In this twisted world.
My heart's freezing over,
Every ounce of warmth
Chilled into a painful reminder.
Every palpitation is more rigid,
Allowing no emotion into it's core.
Although warmth surrounds me,
I'm forced to flee its comforts,
Forced to crawl into a corner,
Forced to become a wraith.
Whilst others run in joy,
Warming their hands on the cozy fire,
I lay forgotten,
Unable to be near the mending warmth.
My heart's freezing over,
Every ounce of warmth
Chilled into a painful reminder.
Every palpitation is more rigid,
Allowing no emotion into it's core.
I'm dying from the cold [2x]
My skeleton hands reach out,
Clutching at strangers,
Hoping they'll hear me,
Hear my pleas,
Although I've nearly faded away,
Perhaps there's hope.
Shunned into a corner,
The poison working its way through,
Every breath becoming more of a rattle,
The cords are snapping,
I don't want to fade into a emnity,
To live my days,
only a shadow beneath their feet,
would be a horror indeed.
I don't want to fade away [ 3x]
My heart's freezing over,
Every ounce of warmth
Chilled into a painful reminder.
Every palpitation is more rigid,
Allowing no emotion into it's core.
Perhaps I'll be saved,
Mayhaps an antidote exists somewhere,
The cure will mend the broken ties,
I'll be safe,able to enjoy the warmth.
For now I'll be the hermit,
the invisible girl,
hidden in a corner.
