The Heart Will Die As Well

A strange sort of tension
hangs in the air-
and seems say that 
thoughts should be worth
more than just a penny today...

But there will be no answer today-
you've already given all
the honest ones away.
Though it is now too late 
to turn away from this curious dance. 

And every word that fails
before I speak-
falls to the floor...
this dead weight 
leaves little cause 
to justify my curiosity.

I begin to think of running away.

They say, the North
is nice this time of year
and I can almost recall 
the sharp salt scent 
of the cold sea air-

There, beneath the fields
of ice and snow - I see
where two truths meet
and crumble the foundation
of our badly written history.
