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.
