Chapter Nine

oh, the beginning of a day
struggling to remain awake
when the world is freezing cold
now the walls are caving in
icy fingers gripping skin in a silent greeting
it's happening again
forgot who i've been
is it better to go numb than to feel this warm?
so what?
you're hearts been broken
mere flesh wound in comparison to mine
i'm fine
i'll get by just remembering
year from now this won't mean a thing
today deserves my company
the past is past
and we can't ever change a thing
this is all i have to give
but it's good enough to get me through
winter's kiss, like poison
running through my veins straight to my head
frozen lips so fatal
killing off all feeling i once had
this is all i have to give
is it good enough to get me through?
this is all i have to give
but it's good enough to get me through
i'll just hold on
i know, i know, i know
i'll just hold on
i know, i know, i know
broken mirrors alter my perception
clouded eyes diminish their deception
focus shadowed, faulty by design
but this fever melts through the ice inside
