She lay– next to him,

The snow frolicked, slowly, calmly, softly bleak,

The candles, were now– dim, flickering–memories,

The lay, together, in darkness–forever.

She shrouded him–her coat of fear–

He knew — she was, forever—

Near.

Every night–by the moonlit candle light–

He lay, alone, departed into fear…

He broke her heart – 

Her fragile heart — of glass

He slipped, away, into her art…

The two lay, forever apart–

The day came–

The two marched –

He knew her aim.

The two– forever, apart…
