Frostbite

A delicate flower just broke
and no one would ever know
A day of celebration
is getting eaten by the cold

I gave out my trust
it has been returned
under double-lock-and-key
the day just gets colder

As night time falls
we will set
if she can survive the night
or forever suffer from frostbite
