Winters Apart

We live winters apart That's how we live and love It may have become a black art But it's indicative of The way we live the lie The way we seek To share "but honestly, misapply Some old technique" Yes you were given unto me to trust. But in due course eternal ice-cores were broken... Now all our reflections combust Like those words here...unspoken... Yes, we live winters apart You and I that's how we live and love Each heart is on a downturn pie chart It's indicative of The music within the music The pulse within the pulse That beats so, so rightly virtuosic Even our truest echoes are now a repulse For perfection is an ice crystal Shimmering darkly on a winters evening Cold and unfulfilled with internal melting Melting but frozen aware of its own betrayal.
