Emily Jane White
I Spent the Years Frozen
I felt the gaze
Of my desire
And I held it close
Never let it transpire
It’s like a sea of skulls
They float along blank walls
Sepulchral paintings fall
At length down my halls
Always, in me, always
I drew the flame
Into the pyre
And I burned this gaze
In a massive fire
For the absence of love
It wore me like a glove
It held me as its kin
What was this world I lived in
Always, in me, always
I feel everyone
I spent the years frozen
I feel everyone
I spent the years frozen
In me, always, in me, always
