Cold blank stare
\nOf a painting
\nI am faced with;
\nIt flakes away,
\nIt cracks, it peels.
\nIt falls to the ground like snowflakes!
\nThe snowflakes of your stare, so icy cold,
\nRip into the heart but don’t take hold.
\nDo you hate me?
\nDo you love me?
\nWell that’s not fair!
\nYou just sit and stare;
\nShower me with cold snowflakes.<\/p>\n
Do you sit and
\nPluck the petals
\nFrom your flower?
\nI love him not:
\nWe love him;
\nWe love him not!<\/p>\n
Your flower has run out!
\nWhat’s going on inside the stone heads?
\nWhere did you find that hidden petal
\nWhen the performance was over?
\nThe blizzard’s over!
\nWith your hidden petal
\nYou love me.
\nYou love me.
\nThe blizzard’s over,
\nYou love me!<\/p>\n
To a smile bewildered gaze,
\nTo a sparkle in the eye,
\nWhat is your reaction?
\nIs there any reaction?
\nWhat about reaction?
\nNot snowflakes!
\nNo snowflakes!<\/p>\n
The painting fades
\nAs I sit in my own elation.
\nWe play for our own
\nSelf-satisfaction.
\nThrow your snowflakes if you will:
\nThey just melt
\nTo water.
\nWater’s wet,
\nAnd wet dries.
\nIt’s dry.
\nI’m dry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
