Would the light of my eyes show
I so want to, yet is otherwise
I hold to what i perceive
Yet the perception is a faux
This faux heals me, bleeds me till i am hollow
It kills me, yet makes me believe it doesn't
Hands reach out
Hands retreat
As if it is a mist
Disappearing at the first light
Like a cowering fool's dream
And i wish for an escape
Yet i hold my ball and chain dear
It's a fallacy
I am so used to
My tears, cease to run
They never would ,for i have frozen them
I want to let them flow
Yet i fear the flame of wanting
