The coldness builds up in my stomach and neck,
A cold palm wrapping tighter around the edges,
Tighter around the wreck.
My insides shake violently, they dance around,
And I want to scream “No!” at strangers
But I can’t make a sound.
The coldness takes over my breathing, my jaw.
I grasp what’s left of me, I try to move away,
I claw and claw, and claw…
But it’s freezing my brain, the mirrors are milky.
No space left for a thought or a gulp of air.
My tongue feels silky.
The worst kind of poison is cutting open my head,
A merciless killer questioning my worth,
Leaving my body in shreds.
The coldness starts tasting like the sweetest morphine,
It fools my eyes completely, unavoidably
As I turn dysmorphic.
