Paint

This crumbling shell needs a lick of paint
A bright young thing it certainly ain't
The years have been hard some would say unkind
No point in dwelling, no way to rewind.

A fresh layer to cover the cracks
A touch of magnolia to get back on the tracks.
Brighten the mood and lighten the day
A shiny gloss to help light the way.

Another layer of paint on top of the last
This one will mask the stains of the past.
A bright new future, a fresh new start
A painted exterior hiding a broken heart.

I Summon

I summon the rain. To wash away our pains. We have been hurting for so long. We hurt each other and don't find it wrong. I summon the wind. To clear our paths. We no longer look ahead.

He was mechanical in his actions, cataloguing each part. If he was to ever live again, he must build himself a heart. The one he had was rotten, had forgotten how to beat.

Frozen

#household. Your emotions are cold. Your movements not so bold. You are frozen at your core. You've become such a bore. Feelings have no home. Locked in your icy dome. Your heart is like ice.
