Winter’s Eternal Silence

.
Gazing at your now frosted breath
Have you finally grown numb?
Like our slowly wilting flower petals
frozen so closely in such a sinful embrace
cracking upon the faintest touch

Cutting your happiness so swiftly
bringing you back to your senses by cruelty
I see you’ve done nothing to fight this fate
your hearts grown cold, like those icy petals

My dreams too have also iced over
stopped dead in their pursuit of happiness
frozen to those few shattered remnants
of our love that was warm yet fleeting

If I am not allowed to even feel
then force me beneath the snow
with those same frigid hands you’ll use
to stop my final breath from escaping

While you shiver as your fingers clasp tight
look at me as I remember you
I need you to see my final tears
freezing as they run down my cheek

.

.

.

Let this memory take root within you
An ever blossoming reminder of your last sin
cracking and decaying all that you could have been
as it devours the final remnants of our shattered dream
.
