She Dies In December

Cold lips turn red against my skin

Warming to the bone

But dead cold inside

No heart, no joy, no laughter can be found

Winter comes with the harsh north wind

Blowing down the walls built up over the spring

Vicious words fill the air and travel on the wind

I don't know you

You don't know me

I never loved you

And you never loved me

So she dies at the twinkle in my eye

When the tear forms

Ice builds and cracks inside her mind

Trying to figure out the reasons why

There are no reasons for them who are living

With so many trials and tribulations

Calling fire down won't even warm her soul

As the soft kisses that never were melt away

Covered by the snow of a thousand winters passed

There is no returning for those lost in the cold

Who wonder and look for themselves in the hearts of others

I am not the one I see in the mirror

The reflection in the ice is not my face

So with you I die too

Along the frozen tuntra of our lives

For all the warm places of my heart have died
