Dead Sentences

ablaze

I saw you through my melted eyelashes

mascara running, eyes ablaze

Wondering how you could make my desire

flame up like a fire while turning me down

Not even sure how you could see me through

those icy walls, ten feet high

they're gone now, cold puddles under my feet

but still I stand frozen, watching you leave

You hurl those words into the air above me

like they're nothing

and I grasp at them

but they are nothing

so I decide to let them slip

and fall

onto the searing hot concrete, where they belong

this time I'm not choosing something so, so wrong

The ocean in my heart is full of salt

this tragedy isn't going to be my fault

mascara running, eyes ablaze

I run free from you and into the haze
