if my heart was made of stone,
would i feel not so alone?

bad puns
finger guns
no apologies.

i didn’t know what to think
i didn’t know what to do
but what i did know
was that you were see-through.

with the power for good
or for the reverse,
it was a blessing
and it was a curse.

don’t trust the moon
her pretty face
her pretty lies
don’t quite hide the darkness on the other side.

save your fuel and energy
go down without a fight
sleight of hand won’t win me over
but pretty lies just might

she is fire
loud, raging, shouts
indignant flames of fury

she is ice
sarcastic, cold, rolled eyes, raised eyebrows
scornful jabs deeper than knives.

she is stone
silent, hidden tears, jaw set, hard eyes
infuriating, feigned indifference.

she is angry.

that isn’t what i meant to say
that isn’t what i’d do,
but what i really should’ve,
i haven’t but a clue.

do not cross the ocean,
never sail the seven seas
if you want to never
want to see lands again like these

if you do decide to go
to step onto a boat
don't say i didn't warn you
that you'll always be afloat

don't say i didn't warn you,
don't say i didn't care
if you do become a pirate
it's not my fault, i swear.

don't scream or cry by light
don't shout or rage by night
win my hand in ****** ******
and take me in a fight
