Froze
by Amy Zi-Xuan Liou
I’m
with the heart of a boy,
Virility travels the open road,
My tranquil depression
Hastened your heat,
Appealed to my eroding goals.
I don’t want this to be sure,
We rode up and smiled like friends,
My utter devotion
To lone wolf souls,
Brewed false hope in a reckless
man.
Love is a generous feeling,
So what’s this tunnel you drove
into?
Crimes don’t just occur,
We drove a car on fire
’Til it burned the wall we broke
through.
I must have made wrong signals,
But waved flag on flag in the air.
When I became game,
There grew hunger in your eyes
When my push met a stronger tear.
I won’t tell you to stop no more,
Paid the price to the feelings
I froze.
My safety worth a cent,
If we ever met up again,
I swear you wouldn’t let me go.
