Winter's Breath

by: Mercedes Tyre

 

It's cold out here, in this sad lonely place,

Where rivers are frozen from winter's breath.

I shelter myself from her cruel embrace;

She appears bearing no gifts, only death.

 

The dark of night makes me afraid to feel,

As cold winds blowing cause a biting chill.

This harsh reality doesn't seem real;

And I fear it will be a bitter pill.

 

I don't want to swallow this painful truth;

With its ability to crush my heart,

And strip the innocence from but a youth.

I am not ready for you to depart.

 

And now to think you've left this earthly place;

No more will I lay eyes upon your face.
