Nothing But the Ice

A cold north wind blows through the moor Whimpering timeless sadness Morose beyond fathomability Like an icy knife cutting through your veins Your blood stains the snow That crystalizes your lonely prizon The blades of the fan that blow from the north Hacking, slicing, severing your feelings Until nothing remains Nothing but the ice

To me this perfectly describes sadness that has helped someone to build a protective wall around their feelings. It takes much energy and love to tear down that wall. A profound and wise ode John.
