Purgatory

I am supine,
staring at the sky
thinking that
existence is so fragile;
We are all born
fiercely,
quietly,
determined
to find a way out
of what we'll do
for the rest of our lives
We are all
so lost,
yet still,
we can't help but sing

And you lay next to me
in a dream
I have,
So curse me please
take it all away
and freeze my soul
into stillness
(stare at the glitter
of the ice
covering its skin,
and awake me now)

Someday soon
I will learn
not to be lonely
then,
there will be soft, cold silence
in my mind
