Avalanche

Resting beneath this heavy avalanche
My heart turned from summer to winter
Ice caused my lips to blanch
Couldn't get enough by the shudder.

My feet got cold as they were exposed
To season's numb disposition
But my love for her didn't repose
Though I was losing my recognition.

Time and again, without even refrain
The end was running closer to me
My wicked body benumbed, couldn't feel pain
Yet my heart was still yearning to thee.
