Eternal Winter


Through my eyes the world is seen in shades of grey
I can feel the coldness set into my soul as snow begins to fall
The rivers of love in my heart and the compassion in my soul freeze into ice
The happy memories I felt as a child darken and fade
My god has abandon me, for were he lurks now I do not know
As my hair turns lighter with age, so does my heart grow dark with hate
A self-vengeance is planted in the garden of my soul
That seed grows and buds into a blossom of shame and remorse
The winter in my soul has become an Ice Age of dark pondering years
Just as I am in soul I am in body, frozen and brittle
I have become what could potentially kill the world, for in me lies eternal winter
