Freezing To Death - 01/13/12

I always thought on fire,
disregarding the alternative.
I always thought on explosives
and my body torn to bits.
I always thought on dynamite
with a sudden end to life.
I always thought of burning,
of burning 'til I died.
 
But other things will do the trick,
like running down the street,
or masking dead intentions
with an accidental binge.
15 beers will kill me,
shall I take them in?
 
And now I turn to Mr. Frost
and the alternative
of an icy, slow, and painful death
of jumping right in.
 
I always thought on fire,
'til learning ice's desire.
