One Year Frozen

The sun takes its dark leave Leaving night to reign again The same as it has always done The sun, I know, will rise again The same things I knew several years ago Yet I'm still freezing cold I can feel you in the wind Feel you crying from the clouds Or maybe it's me spitting in the wind From all the panting crowds Frozen as you left me A statue made of ice That heat can't even chip away Since you've been gone Time hasn't just slowed down It's frozen to a halt The world's so much colder Inside this crater I've formed With edges made of ice and glass You would simply fly out And leave me as I was As the shell you made me into Time is drawing to a close If I can't heal here, that's just too bad My final year with you I might just be driven mad But say I survive until the end And maybe find a cure somewhere Well then, maybe I could thaw And learn to love this heated air
