it
has been
forbidden.
there is nothing
left for me to live
for. you have taken my
heart, soul, breath, tears, life. you will
always have it all. there is no
way for me to get it back, no way.
keep everything i gave you. keep it all.

Boy,
you have
got me. Me
feeling something,
intoxicated.
I am holding onto
your every word. I feel
insane. Your eyes are so intense.
Smile at me again. Boy, look in my
direction. There is something between us.

I need to get her out of the picture.
She is keeping you from me and you
know it. You want to be with me.
I can make you feel something.
Boy, exhilaration,
intoxication.
Experience
my love for
you, oh,
boy.

Slinking in the dark,
Lying low,
Yearning to taste the hunt.
Freeing the wild instinct,
Opening up his senses,
X**-ray vision in the black night.

Burnt out lanterns
          swaying in the wind.
Harsh Winter bares his glistening teeth
          biting at my exposed flesh
          tearing at my tattered layers.
He whispers in my ear
          threatens my life with
                                               hunger
                                               thirst
          promising death
                                               in the end.
Harsh Winter wears a mask
          of white, glittery fabric.
He walks around impersonating
          instilling images of
                                                family
                                                friends
                                                love.
Harsh Winter tempts you
          only to take your heart
                                                freeze it
                                                shatter it.
Harsh Winter is not your friend.
