This blizzard lives within me

A pale reflection of this frozen land

Distant stars count the moments of my pain

Atmosphere’s too thin to carry my

Fevered cries

Still I feel His stare…

Your burden lies beyond an open vein

A wound inflicted on yourself

A fractured memory of what you’ve lost

Now lies forgotten in the dark

The cold’s embrace leaves its mark

My soul is on the brink of shattering

No life exists save the crows that come to feast

Upon the remnants of

Abandoned prayers

Still He watches me…

Your burden lies beyond an open vein

A wound inflicted on yourself

A fractured memory of what you’ve lost

Now lies forgotten in the dark

No more will you be burdened with His Light

The path you forge is now your own

My body marks another mile

No respite from these howling winds

Will is trapped inside limbs that will not bend

As the cold slowly takes the sight

From my eyes

I can’t feel His stare…

What have I done?
