As I slink closer, I spot a flame A flame of kindled love, tortured and maimed The flame then flickers Once then twice then the wicker Catches into fire As the flame roars and the fire grows higher I run in fear of this growing disaster But then I realize, the flames are warm, the heat is plastered To my cold cold body, I slowly grow closer to the dancing flame I may be recalled this moment as when the reality came I have been found by my purpose, to be away from here I’ll never forget how it felt to be so near To death itself, and endless cold I found my person, my hope, my gold So if you find yourself here, Get a special person to lend a hand quite near To this world where lost souls go Where we bend low With self doubt and self hate Brewing in anger and not quite great So find your mate And don’t brew your hate Stay away Far away from this world of which all betray Goodbye; farewell Do not dwell In this land of ice and snow
