i am frozen
in this shell
of burning ice
my private hell
and all the warmth
i cannot steal
holds me back
the wounds are real
and bleeding still
in frigid spikes
sharper than steel

frozen // freezing

i was born
of blood and flesh
the love and lust
that i detest
detach myself
one last time
into the void
the neurons whine
again and again
why can't i look
past all the pain?

frozen // freezing

i am lifeless
yet still i see
the nothingness
surrounding me
nothing's changed
i'm still the same
a form not dead
driven insane
replaced inside
by this machine
i'm crucified

frozen // freezing
frozen // freezing
dead
