The Lake She Lies In

By cre

Air more still
Than ever breath has been
A chasm cracked
An arctic frozen wind
This land caressed
And steeped in chilled decay
So endlessly some winter
Her never-tossed bouquet
To summer's fragrant blossoms
Dawned dissolution's grace
From warmth and tender beauty
A distant freeze remained

And ice more blue
Than tint of absent breath
Embraced this lost December
A dance within a death
Her face beneath the frost
A sight not truly seen
But by the lake she lies in
And the crisp and frozen breeze . . .

she lay to remain for the duration of her life. Trapped inside the pain of something she cant escape: once inflicted and scared. True, maybe not. Thats the impression i got: Love love [D&A]
