the-jennster

The void within me barely stirs
I do my best to nudge it gently
Offer it the warmth I crave
With little bites and sips
It does not wake its frozen state

I work despite its stubborn sleep
Staring listless into dark
Waiting waiting for some spark
To come from out its icy depths
And make the words come easy

I kick and scream and yell
I curse and cry until I'm hoarse
Begging, wishing, bargaining
For any shred or piece of me
To make its way back out

The sleeping beast stays in its cave
Frozen in its slumbering state
It holds my words all deep inside
And it seems I have no choice to wait
I sit beside it, wrapped up tight
Still resting all the while
The dragon's nose curls close to mine
And warms me with a smile
