Cold winter cuts — a heart that couldn’t heal
destroyed by it’s own stupidity
a frozen smile — cracks backing frigid lies
I shelter beneath a veil of happiness — a delicate facade
and snow falls as to bury what we had
everything we left behind
although your loving eyes — have left my gaze forever
they’ve been captured in my sleep — although this vacant heart
can’t go on any longer — I feel your soft breath in my dreams
but it shall not be — I cannot shake these feelings
I can’t renounce — this love for you is all I know
I am controlled by sorrow — my hope forever lost
bested by my weakness — will the spring’s warmth never come?
And the snow
still heaping on this broken back
I am lost within its persistence
you took the meaning
from this withered soul
I have no strength without your touch
and so it was — and can never be again
and so it was — and will never ever be again.
Lost — this love for you is all I know.
Weakness — will the spring’s warmth never come?
A little child crying — from the bunk below
I still love you — I can’t cut that tie from my life
love born in regret? Was our blight carved into stone?
The stone that lines my heart — I wish I never loved you
cold sweat and eaten nails — I did this all for you.
A broken heart — a clenched fist full of hair — I did this all for you
and any other embrace — will just turn into shit
in the shadow of our former love
I’d trade a bloody wrist — to live forever in those nights
but the deed hath still been done
