lovely, still


lovely, still. winter eyes ice over heart branch snow through my veins freeze the ends of my hair snowflakes hug my lashes breathing clouds of warm in the negative cold sink beneath the equator and earth and ice winter skin moon pale scars dark midnight sky lovely, still fire smile chestnut chuckle curl up in your aura ocean blue and bloody red unspeakable sadness in your winter eyes frozen heart unable to thaw in the december days pouring off the calander skates on the ice slush on the street impatient, impatient patient only for you for your heart to thaw blue december pain make your old scars red transgressions a bold thorny black against the ocean blue sad in your winter breath eyes lovely, still nothing but ever lovely you've got me trapped beneath your ice drowning in the blue water drowning in your eyes drowning in the ocean eyes waiting for your winter to thaw your heart and set me free icy transpose lovely, still
