Cold

As my hand drifts along the windowsill
While my eyes drop to the floor boards
My spine shakes with a chill
And the rain starts to pour

The sky is clear
But the rain is heavy
Each drop is sincere
Every breath is steady

My heart is on fire
I’m surrounded by snow
I want to let in the cold
And pass above or below

My eyes are closed
All emotions are silent
Every thought and memory composed
Now are eternally quiet

My eyes squint from the embrace of heat
My toes grasp the grass below my feet
My fingers sway through the fresh summer air
As leaves rest upon my hair

The flowers dance with each other
Trees sing with one another
My eyes flooded with color
As my view ventures further

The wind flows through the trees
Carrying a song and a gentle breeze
Pushing and pulling, filling me with ease
And in this moment time would freeze

The sun sets and the moon illuminates the sky
Every star passing by
Makes me depressed within this sweet lie
I have realised that hours ago I have died
