mute

open eyes
but there's no sight
open mouth
but there's no words
open lungs
but there's no oxygen

actions and reactions
cause and effect
vocal cords 
now a phantom limb

melt

stories and words carved in ice
flying shards of cold water
only to melt at the slightest touch
and the words melted as slow
as once were carved

ba da ba da ba da ba ba
open arms and closed eyes
feel a fire burning
brighter than sunshine
heat melting ice to nothingness

reckless

rose petals soft to the touch
fragrant red and vibrant perfume
where have you gone again
gone for the day or gone forever

all that's left are thorns and bee stings
the small things that hurt the most
no u-turns on this one way street
nowhere to go but on

so drive fast and reckless
anything to feel something
other than the nothingness
that was left behind
