Promises

Lying in bed..
Warm blanket covering my entire body ..
An artic blast of cold air..
On a brisk cold winters day..
Body shivering..
Shaking uncontrollably 
My heart yearns for you..

Broken promises and shattered dreams..
Disappointed I feel
I have awaited your return
Lovingly and patiently..
A mountain of promises ..
The two of us standing tall
Together as one..

Spend the rest of our lives together..
Til we both disengage from this life..

Promises...
Promises..

Broken, scattered, and shattered..
Turned into specks of nothingness..
Hopes and dreams of a future together
Which is merely an illusion..

Illusions followed by..
Delusions..
I have become delusional ..
Believing you shall return..

No longer shall we stand tall..
Together as one..

Now we both stand alone...
So alone on this frozen tundra..
Knowing that the frozen tundra will crack..
The cracks shall become broken..
Broken shattered, scattered, frozen, icy pieces..
Of a tundra..
Of dreams..
The two of us becoming one..

The frozen tundra had melted..
So we had melted along with the tundra..
