I am left alone- floating in complete and utter silence Ravished repeatedly by the domineering cold that surrounds me A ballet of diminishing senses synchronized to fading light The icy wind now serves as my only source of consolation As dull colors dance together on the canvas of the winter sky Draining slowly out of sight and into the heavens before me Into a recess of sluggish thoughts that have collected Forming a shallow pool adorned in the deepest of blues Shaking, like a rabid beast with white foam billowing Shaking, with such intensity to dislodge repressed memories Nearly knocking the Earth from the shoulders of Atlas Snow falls against my face to the beat of a silent metronome Collecting upon features that are no longer of importance Breathing begins to slow, matching the rate of a funeral dirge Straining to remember what it felt like to feel- I can't Complete and utter darkness falls upon me like a heavy blanket But to my dismay, this blanket hides no warmth beneath its folds Slowly, castles of snow and ice are constructed across my chest Winter has laigh her savage claim to the corners of my body Saturnine monuments built in honor of my dissolution Every single pulse is weakening, while thoughts are carelessly fleeing The hands of my father's pocket watch have frozen in place If only he could see it- now that it will never again leave my hand Snowflakes fall, causing vibrations in the air as they land Ringing out, mournfully, into the last melody I will ever hear Shortly before slipping away into sleep- wearing a cloak of white And I find myself expending my remaining energy in thought Fading in and out of consciousness upon my crystalline bed Carrying the soft melody of snowflakes in my head Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa. |
