the mind slowly withers away, replaced by death's pull. thoughts careen toward abandonment, loneliness now a form of life. chilling words escape the lips, freezing over the heart. no one speaks the simple words, to melt the ice away. covering the pain, something very hard to do. living with that pain, impossible to do. rejection a way of life, knowing nothing else. listen as the serpents talk, deceiving with every breath.Birth sign: Capricorn
