Alright
she used to love the winter because of its beauty
it burns through her memories now like ice set on fire
she wakes up shaking every night begging a God she may or may not believe in
to take her into that beautiful white place He had shown her
when her soul broke over a new horizon one cold night on a set of train tracks
the girl couldn't smile
everything had been ripped away from her
she was sarcastic but caring
stubborn and opinionated
cold, but had the warmest heart of anyone
she has the word "dead" carved into her skin
a memory and scar that she can never remove
and there was this boy
he made her feel everything all at once
he took her heart in his hands and shaped it
he made her smile
laughed at her sarcasm
brought her back to life.
