Winter

Ice cold betrayal
the bite is deep
freezing my veins
an arctic abyss
snowblind lost in your spell
a touch that used to warm
is only frigid now
your presence the coldest winter
ever searching for comfort
with you I still see my breath
I try to build a fire
but the winds always quell the flames
your cold harsh stare
you don’t care
the long lost fire that once burned for you
has been doused by the overpowering winter
