~~Not Going Down Tonight~~

Fuck this.

Fuck the tears and the pain

Hell fuck attempting to rhyme

Time for the tears to dry

And the anger to pour

Blood red

Upon

White white snow

I want out

Of this diseased prison

The memories painted upon walls

In bird shit

This sick and twisted imagery

Fails to grasp the hated memory

That's nothing more

Than a diamond curtain

Over a mirror

Of purest glass, encased by diamond

Waiting to be found

That will show

The reality of me

I try to step closer

And right beside it is a light

A single block of shimmering gold

A glowstone, to light the night

I stare in wonder, freezing solid

And touch the shard

Of ice

That sticks out of my beating heart

And keeps me from feeling real

I reach out to touch

The glowstone so bright

But it's blocked by a case

Of night

I try to break it

But there's no hope

The shard in my heart

Forms into a key

And I stare at it slowly

I bite my lip, and try

To take it out, but I'm too scared

What will happen if I face

The truth of me?

What will happen if I look

In the mirror?

There's a tap on my shoulder

I turn and look

Behind me

And there stands a man

He smiles softly

And gestures to the shard

I go closer, and he pulls me to him

He places upon my lips

A single icy kiss

But for a second I feel so warm...

And then his hand

Pulls from me

And with it goes the shard

He kisses it, and watches as

My body heals again

I collapse but he holds me up

And turns me to look

At the curtained mirror

Where the glowstone shines again

No longer hidden by night

For a second, I hear a voice

Coming from the one who doesn't speak

"Look."

I pull back the curtain

And see a smiling face....
