Warming a Cold Body

I'll drown the dark skies

So that the glorious sun

May once again reveal

The joy hiding under the clouds

The joy hiding under the veils

The joy hiding under the masks

-

I'll lock away the tears in jars

Bottle up those emotions

That drip from my words

Like those black spiders

You said were disgusting

I'm not disgusting

Not today

-

I'll hang the frowns right side up

By an invisible fishing wire

Just so my muscles may know

What it feels like for the first time

For our first time

-

Oh but the irony

Striking everyone down

Like ants under a thumb

Stuck with the misery

As if it was glued to their chest

And burrowed into the heart

-

You died

My darling your dead

Today their putting you under

Today the dirt will be muddy

On such a sunny day

This was our day

This is our day

Won't you listen

In your sleep

I'm living with you

Without you

This is what you wanted

This is all for you

-

Can I change the emotions

Of a blinded corpse

That was under the weather

Blinded by frozen tears

Along a frozen frown

With the frozen wire

Knotted like a scarf

But no scarf could warm you

Because I lowered the thermostat
