White Out

How’d you erase your heart,

And undo the thoughts of your mind?

When did you cut off your ears?

And your eyes become so blind?

How’d your soul efface love?

Tell me, how did it wear away?

Like a single woven thread—

Did it just begin to fray?

How’d you erase your heart?

Become numb, unable to feel?

How did you cancel each dream-

And act like it’s no big deal?
