Time goes by slow
When it's cold
My heart beats sleepily
To snowflakes falling
I bury my feet
Feel myself sinking
Ice coating my face
Frozen in place
Footstep falling
Getting closer, calling me
Go to look,
But nothings moving
Now we're face to face
Peering inside of me
Radiating like the sun
Warming everything
I find myself falling
Can you hear me calling?
Breathing smoke into my chest
You pull me back
Wrap me up in your wool coat
Arms around me
Pain is surrounding
Frozen nightmarish dreams
But there you are
With a cup of hot tea
To dull the memories
Taking me back,
As I was supposed to be.
