Work Text:
frozen dinners
i awake in your sunrise
sunshine savored in the haze
of my foggy morning brain
nightmares of my slumber
are swirling around
the frost of my terrors
cause shivers down my spine
when memories snow
then melt under
your rays of sun
forming snow angels
in the horrors of my past
my brooklyn baby
you whisper in my ear
your hot breathy laugh
felt against my neck
warming the perpetual cold
of my icicle bones
i’ve silently thought your love
a hoax in my pain-filled life
yet you’ve always loved me when it hurts
when the times are rough
and i don’t like my mind
you’ve always been able
to change my thoughts
convince me that
my love is mine all mine
and i have choices in my life
to walk unafraid in the wake
of my past present and future lives
and as our coffee-talking mornings
warm up my frozen body
i tell you to make me anew
you start with bleach in my hair
circling the drain
washing away the constraints
of the person i never was
the person you tell me
i never will be again
