Winter Woman


[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"60152","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"480","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"320"}}]]

Sub-zero temperatures,

She tries to keep warm,

An absence of love,

Has created this storm.

 

She has a thin icy sheild,

And hides through the pain,

She puts up a cover,

albeit -- in vain.

 

The cold wind whips,

Creating cracks,

Splintering her armor,

She refuses to look back.

 

A shattered soul,

She still remains,

Frozen in ice,

Encased in pain.
