beyond glass
darkness stretches lengthly...

In window,
house, in place,
a homely glow
a flicker

within my brain
of blueish thoughts,

Red spikes, so linear,
so wanting to be out of place
and through this glass
death in dark and
lost (i am so)

Wanting.

...outside is icicle...
so cold but inside
so warm so why

am I shivering?

Take thy rudy lipstick from my neck,
and take thy nails out from my back!

(I cannot and I will not)

Now in charcoal dark,
alone, concealed
here i huddle, see me
shudder and shiver,
tears and terror,

(anguish)

...see the caves within my countenance...

Bloody excellent! The line:

'Take thy ruddy lipstick from my neck,
And take thy nails out from my back!'

Really reminds me of The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe, did you mean it to? Still whether you did or not, great work!
