Fault lines in the asphalt ground
Snow caught in the cracks below
Melted mass of frozen pounds
Weighing down the river’s load.
Floating on the tumbling storm
Weary in a restless state
Terrified of shadowed forms
Gasping still with breath abate.
The earth is dead, its surface, dark
Stray life is cut with spiteful blade
Alone remains a hopeful ark
To reach it, sacrifices made.
Winter winds can’t chill my soul
And some things you will never know
But stay with me for now
Together, alone.
Tempered steel will not suffice
The gates I’ve built aren’t meant to break
Nothing but your heart’s entice
Can frighten off dread fear’s embrace.
The falling ice envelopes all
And you can cower here with me
My heart is hard, but through its walls
Life can still push mightily.
Your faith is all I seek, and yet
You’ve given me much better still
Unknowing, safety keeps me set
But your love is what breaks my will.
Demons in the roads pursue
And all the world could shatter you
But you are not alone
Fearful wrath burns in your eyes
And loveliness intensifies
I give my heart in peace
And make the sacrifice.
