Hush of Night Awakens

i remember that last kiss cold like the air tonight the wind carries a wolf's cry in the distance i sit here and watch the shadows as they dance beneath the somber song the moon, full-bellied tucks itself behind the clouds as the stars lose their twinkle like eyes, gone from life nightide has settled in yet its not calm this winter night my mind twists and snaps like the branches on trees half-bare outside in the distance i hear the cries of wolf's prey and the echoes of your's and mine alike i drift off deep, away from thought for a few hours of sleep trying to regain warmth outside fresh snow covers your grave and the wolf's prey only the sky bleeds now but i remember that kiss it was ... as cold as this day.
