Life sickle(like ice sickles)

Drip, drip, drip

The end is near I fear

Drip, drip, drip

One, two, three

Drip drip

Sick and twisted I count to my end

It is warm enough today I will cease to exist at its end

No more beautiful sculptures will I create even if a spike is all you see

There is more to me

Than that the ice you swirl in your mouth

When a bite of me you take

If I’m untarnished

Pure & fresh you suck on a chunk

Thinking this is perfect

Then I’m gone

You break me off whatever I’ve attached to and grown upon

Did you think of me at all as you crunched me into pieces

It’s okay if you didn’t, I never felt a thing

Here today, gone tomorrow

For at heart I’m just water

Shapes or forms I take according to the weather

Drip, drip, good bye drip drip

Bottled What’s

Standing on the corner of broken dreams and hard knocks I throw my hands up in despair How’d I get here? Working my hardest day in and day out The powers that be said not today, tomorrow or any in between That crumbling feeling you get when every thing you touch turns to shit Guess that is why they gave out second chances Well I’m a pro at fifths and I’m not speaking spirits this time I can hear words of the past, if I listen Yet I’m afraid of myself or it seems Confidence I lack Faith in myself and the words I write If I want more, I just need to write and stop fearing the outcome Heidi Talbott
