She lay-- next to him,
The snow frolicked, slowly, calmly, softly bleak,
The candles, were now-- dim, flickering--memories,
The lay, together, in darkness--forever.

She shrouded him--her coat of fear--
He knew -- she was, forever---
Near.
Every night--by the moonlit candle light--
He lay, alone, departed into fear...

He broke her heart --
Her fragile heart -- of glass
He slipped, away, into her art...
The two lay, forever apart--


The day came--
The two marched --
He knew her aim.


The two-- forever, apart...
