The cold has reached into me
Machines of flesh now failing
distant reflection over passive surface
the light now blocked as despair blooms
Your silhouette stares
As I reach through the frost
Forsaking myself
Within the light of day
Yet you remain so still
All this time has passed
Yet your eyes still pierce
Empty eyes stare mockingly
Aspirations left to wallow
My wretched lamentations
reflected in the iris void
For the winter entombed you
Trapped beneath the surface
Dead yet eternally young
You brought the dreams to life
I'm slipping away
Falling beneath the sky
Within the light of day
yet you remain so still
All this time has passed
Yet your hands still clench in fists
Within your eyes
My dream remains
Pure as the frost
That pulled you down
