Black & white is all around

And more is coming down

Melt into the shades of gray

Hence increased fatality

Darkest day & blackest night

Frigid all around

Kill the rain & beat the cold

Thaw me deep inside



Push me in, lock the door

And throw away the key

Lay me down, wrap me up

Give me light therapy

All is bright, all is still

But a tender symphony

Go to sleep, from the pills

This season's killing me



Hit the bottle, fade to black

The bottom lies above

Broken back on borrowed time

No plan to give it back

Self destructive in excess

A private anarchy

Something died inside of me

Frozen empathy



Reside in sonnet industry

Craven as i am

Awaiting summer clarity

A rapture in the breeze
