Halite

It's cold today in this empty room As the simple chemistry starts to form Frosted river solidifies against my cheek As I cast my eyes to each glimmer above The mist created by my hardened breath Makes the smudged glass seem opaque Wipe it away with the heart on my sleeve Close my eyes and continue to pray Thoughts rage through a hollow mind And purity flows through a youthful heart Saddness runs breathless in every vein And exhaustion lies breeding inside Those questions that I shouldnt ask The ones with the answers I cant ever know Follow me in a shadow thats pitless and dark Weighing down every whispered word My voice has lost with no time frame on its return Instead the monotonous perfected script I learnt Allows for no bluntness and hides honesty Out of protection for my battered soul Im retching your name from the depth of me Sickened by this blurred distortion Im reaching to you and the glimmering mirage As the river I frosted burns my own throat No sound is made through ice I cant break And my eyes widen in petrification Frustrated and alerted by this unending state Falling back into myself once more Compressing every layer that I allowed to escape Erasing the signs of my concealed opened scars Silencing the sound of my internal war cries Staring back through the mist is the reflection I show An image made up of pointillist salt All thats left underneath is halite
