White ash raining, was that my fault?

Have I blown them out,

every match you gave me?

Peer through the keyhole, you’ll see me

The tallest summit; far-off wall of ice

Had I built that blackthorn fence?

Your arms got caught, shredded red

Still reaching, God why, for a way

You floundered at the perimeter today

It’s outrageous your smile’s contagious

I’m fairly sure you already knew

That hazel eyes hypnotize

Photos spiraling down, was that you?

Maybe you’re somebody to think about

Can you tell me how?

How to let my guard down

Your lips sewn shut, wrists tied up

You blazed through the battlefield

The dimming minefield years built me

I raised up an immovable blade

Slashed both your pretty palms raw

When you tried lowering it down

You were just trying to

Subdue the barbed beast

Can you tell me how?

How to let my guard down

Monochromatic

Photographs

Spiraling down

Smoky salt, yes that was my fault

Raining down on every wound

You came up closer, bloodied,

I'm nowhere ready

You reach out and grasp,

suddenly shaking

You were so close, you were right there

Only but an inch away

Then that avalanche, that was my fault

I tore the both of us down

Can you tell me how?

How to let my guard down

Yes, that was my fault!!

Yes, that was my fault!!
