Frozen Memories
Frozen memories forbidden from falling
In the distance I thought I heard you calling
Just my imagination, I’m dying to run along your lines
With my fingertips, so I can feel their various shapes and designs
I can feel the cold winter air capture my sight
And slowly blend daytime with night
Snow falls upon me like a waterfall
Once more my ears lie; I heard your call
Like a thorn causing my heart to bleed
But within my eyes, my pain you shall not read
I can stand within the mist until my time expires
Waiting for you to return from the heart of fire
I can feel the cold rain falling on my skin
Like a soldier, carving a path for its icy kin
To raze my skin like a common battlefield
Praying for their enemies to quickly yield
It matters not, fall upon me malevolent frost
If death comes, I shall be willing to pay his cost
Perhaps I shall trade the salt of my blood
For a chance to acquire a value greater than my inner mud
A chance to be with the keeper of my memories once more
To travel to the aurora of the times we shared before
When the light shined so brightly upon on this broken life
Before it all changed with the brandishing of a glistening knife
Drain me; there is nothing of worth left in me
Only a shell left, all I have left is what all see
My inner lights were taken and sold for eternal resistance
Immunity to the cold kiss of death’s unruly persistence
But I do starve so deeply for just a taste
Of the pain that others, that I, had once faced
To feel once more, what a benevolent dream
Though to others, strange as it may seem
I cannot stand the sight of the darkness
Perhaps though, its entrance may be painless
I’m just a mortal soul left to die
But never is the end of days nigh
I sold everything I held dear
Just so she could one day be near
Her light is so close to me once more
But it is blocked by death’s unholy door
So she remains trapped in the remnants of my head
Like a puppet I reside, waiting to feel dead
Only to awake the next day in this same condition
I am broken. Forever I wait for death’s admission
Forever I reside in the cold glaciers of mist
Waiting for this curse upon me to desist
My fingers lowly frost have gone numb
When shall I finally learn to succumb?
She is never returning to this ground
Yet, once more I hear her heavenly sound
Perhaps she shall come to me now
I must brave this unbearable snow
For my dream is slowly coming to me
To feel her lines, it would be a remedy
Slowly my hands trace the lines
And all of their arching designs
As they cement themselves along my face
I finally am allowed to leave this forsaken place
As I finally open my dying eyes
Upon the stone, I can see where she lies
And an empty patch of wasteland adjacent to it
Perhaps I shall soothe these aching legs and sit
Or perhaps I shall allow myself a rest
For I have escaped his ungodliness’ nest
And once more I have been joined with my other
Everything feels right. As if she is protecting me with her cover.
Finally, I can close my eyes and embrace the winter air
For now, I have finally fallen into my beauty’s endless care.
