Winter

It's been a long winter

Icicles of pain
Still hurt the eyes
The heart stands cold
And that idiotic smile
Of utter disbelief
Still spreads frozen
Across a pure liquid trust

The fire has long died
Half forgotten memories
Buried deep in the embers
Lend no warmth

It's been a long winter
It's going to last a little longer this year

You, anonymous

If you can
Name it
Claim it
Enslave me

Until then
Let it be free
And beautiful
Deep inside me

Just as I feel
With your stolen glance
Restlessly
Caressing me
