Cautious as I am
I stand alone
Not by myself
But singular among all the rest
Weary of the smallest heartbeat
But solo, nonetheless
I won't exaggerate for you
You see the mirror
Not a metaphor for glass
But ice instead
Dead, from drear survival
It's just one of those things that you do
It's just one of those things that you do
Warm pink has turned a secondary light
Muddled purple for cold
Dismayed, the blood pumps
But it pumps half-emtpy
Half-empty or low
Like I am now
Now
