Poetry

Become the Winter

Let all emotion fade away,
Like snow upon a winter day,
Landing soft upon the ground,
Quickly fading all around

Make your heart cold and hard as ice
No love, no pain, no feelings suffice
The only thing you leave is hate,
The grey slush washing through the grate,

You never thought love would prevail,

So you let your emotions fall like hale
Breaking windows of firm trust
Letting silver turn to rust
Melt away in the light of hope
Bound by the knots of your own rope
