Lines so cold
from the wintry truth
of my own frozen lies
cutting through another hallucination
to reveal a pregnant pause,
so inwardly one ear will turn

to consciously absorb the subconscious

lovely.

This was great Melissa, very haunting. This was my favorite verse:

"but I'm afraid honesty
might choke on itself
before melting into a meaning
that defines

me
(or someone worth listening to)

Awesome!!
