Marble

The loneliness burns to my core
Consuming what is left of this beaten heart
Sutures rust and can no longer hold my soul
Away from the ice that calls
Finally, I succumb to bitterness
Frostbite takes hold
My insides turn to frozen glass
So fragile, so hard, so cold
I long for someone, anyone
To ignite the fire again.
But they’ve already struck the match
To light their burning desire for another
It’s just as well.
I’ve become a statue
Timeless Beauty of Indestructible Concrete
Here to console your crying spirit
And receiving no comfort in return
Take what you like from me,
Take it all.
Bleed me dry then leave me here
Alone in this snow-covered nightmare
I could never blame you
Because, I could never be the one you want
My smile turns to marble
And I finally grasp how truly alone
I am.
The façade of this sculpted face
And carefully planned words will remain
You will see only what you want
And only what I will allow
