Arctic Lullaby

~ . + . ~

The Cold is calling
The emptiness beckons me home
I sit as my faith shatters
withering as a spent blossom
My fallen good intentions the killing frost

~ . + . ~

The Cold is whispering
The iced indifference a kiss upon my grace
I stand silent as my once caring heart
bleeds out upon the ground of my dreams
My sorrow the ever accurate blade

~ . + . ~

The Cold is tempting
The hollow defeat enticing my hope to sleep
I fall with my abandoned fading laughter
listless, broken and failing
My foundations hammered by dismissal

~ . + . ~

The Cold is sheltering
The protecting oblivion my love seeks to find solace in
I dive willingly with ebbing strength
beaten and torn, drowning in regret
as its wave cradles me into the void of feeling

~ . + . ~

Freezing to death
is so delicate and silent

The title is so perfect.. this was beautifully sorrowful, and rich in fluency.. "Freezing to death is so delicate and silent" that was amazing, it really bought it home to you. Amazing work doe.

Beautiful. Every word in its rightful place. Cool color as well. I could quote damn near every line here. I feel like I'm ready to freeze to death, myself, by the time I reach the end. Wonderful work, my friend.
