A Love(ly) Struggle.

A Love(ly) Struggle.

A Poem by Tiarra Templeton

Razor sharp, glass has shattered
Puzzle pieces make things better 
My insides ache to turn back time 
Clinging to my dreams forever 
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
But what you live with hurts more than death
The salty waters fall all around me 
And I can feel my lungs hold my breath 
I'm picking through pieces of my mind 
Recycling words that were left unsaid
The world gets so loud when I try to think 
And FM static always fills my head 
With all this thought comes wasted time 
Yet no time for needed hunger and fun 
I'm replacing what's needed with 'the death of me' 
And an unknowing poison fills into my lungs
A numbness starts to slowly set in 
But it burns like a winter's frostbite 
Walking alone out into the darkness
Who's to say you're coming home tonight? 
I'm sorry is all that I can give you 
And all I hear are apologies in return 
There's a fire of ice lingering in your eyes 
And I can't walk away watching it burn 
The telephone's been calling these numbers 
It's trying to find a way back to the start 
And, with time, I find there's no way to reach you 
There's not a number to place a call to your heart

This has a lot of emotions in it, and I like that. I don't really see an overall meaning (besides your title), though.

Your line, "There's a fire of ice lingering in your eyes" is really good! I like it =]
Nice Job.
