i face you at a cliff's edge, barely breathing my throat is hallowed and sore and frozen from my ragged confession it burns with the cold of you. wintered veins twist betwixt beating blood red as your heart it bears no more warmth, does it, darling i set my love free like a bird upon the frosty mountain's top i sit there, screaming my soul singing sirenic hymns echoing the songs you once gave me hoping it will reach the sun in time every word that slips from my lips releases the tender flames you once gave me candles of hope and delight the contentment of my soul, fleeing, fleeting now, freezing as spring decays once more there is a state of grace, for a moment, i grow accustomed to the cold, i feel free within the icy winds, wrapping themselves around me bittersweet replacements of what could have been i remain suspended in the air, seemingly safe my lungs breathe i inhale winter it seeps into my bones, my veins, my heart my body is not cold, it is merely empty i set my love free like a flame and so i am left to sleep teetering on the edge between seasons i have nothing left to say you have taken my words and frozen them.
