Flurries of flakes flutter through the air
Days like this are too much to bear
Remembering the day you left
A day not too long ago

This place isn't how I remember it
It used to hold no memories
No thoughts of death
No utter remorse
For what you did

The Earth is hidden
Beneath a propitious shield
Almost the color of my bones
And here I weep

I lay among the stones
Empty and alone
Bitter and cold

My mouth runs dry
I need the soft taste of your lips
Against mine again
But what am I left with?
Nothing but a memory

There are no leaves among the trees
There is no smoke in the church's chimney
Even God can't bear this miserable event
That must be why the air is so dry

Silence is sifting along
Even the wind can't catch up with its song
Crows cry out, stinging the moon
Sending it behind a cloud
My pulsing breathing seems so loud

You aren't here
I am left to wither
Into nothing but a crystal
Like you have
Every snowflake that has fallen
Has reminded me of your beautiful smile
Your precious lips
Your hair
Your life, our life

I miss you and it's unbearable
I will join you in your abattoir
With every cut
My veins scream louder
For some relief
Some sweet relief
They will prevail

With tears blurring my eyes
I lay my arm, palm up, near your stone
Squinting in the pain
I bear down and cry out in agony
The horror of it all
Sends a rush of sweet peril down my spine

I've come for you
It's taken me some time
But I have finally taken my last breath
And to remember this day not long ago
I have left red stains
Here in the snow
