snow drifts falling
sparkling, shimerring creating illusions
like a layer of sharded glass
its my family blanketing the world
appearing graceful, safe, welcoming
hazardous to touch
rejoicing icicles
enhancing the cynical world
with its freezing beauty
stitching up hacked up phrases
with dirty needles, broken thread
meaningless stanzas brutally put together
like a mismatching patchwork quilt
unravelling at the seams
slowly invading your imaginary,
stealing your innocence, your dreams
poisoning your mind
so i can keep you with me
where you dont belong
where you were born to be
my toxic oleander
my child
my flesh and blood
to own to hold and to possess
my Astrid
Please tell me what you think

wow, this piece was really great. i liked how you used specific words like brutally, cynical, toxic and sharded because they really helped bring your points across better
