From the window of white frost and snow
Jack Frost was here freezing my little soul
Saint Nicholas close in toe stealing gifts
Only the naughty were touched cold

I thought so different I shall be
Belittled and battered – rage adult hands
In the dawn sorrow filled my heart – woke screaming
In the winter’s silver realm they fought long

From the thundering cups to smashing hands
Thumped the walls and screams of her
No good was the off spring just burden to all
Mummy where is autumn’s golden sun?
Daddy where has the summer sun gone?
Shaking the bed holding and all I loved – a demon bear
Wet was the bear – silent fearful tears
Safe he whispered sleep upon my cold heart

~ The dark angel loves you follow the blue stars ~
