crisp pastry bursting with blood red jam
strawberry cake soft as a cloud
apple pie sprinkled with cinnamon
all crumbling
fingers burnt and scarred
from choices you didn't make
golden petals encased in caramel
a frozen heart stabbed with a shining black blade
feathers scattered in the snow
a storm is brewing on the horizon
reaching out to the darkness
memories slipping through your fingers
you can't grasp stardust
a faraway song echoes on the breeze
too soft to hear
calling out to you through the fog
pulled closer
as you push away
failing to escape
the shackles of rewritten fate
efforts all in vain
tied together
unwillingly
chained to a heart
beating endlessly
discordant notes ring in your ears
destined to play along
forever out of tune
dance with me upon broken glass
a sorrowful waltz
to the rhythm of their sins
there's nothing left
to shelter us
from the cold
