walking on clouds
snow spirals toward the ground
bringing me down with it
in a flurry of regret
her words haunt me
they burn like the bitter cold
of winter
i deconstructed one wall
only to find another lying behind it
one that i had helped to build
the peace and the comfort
have disappeared
anguish and misery
have taken up residence
only one may evict them
only the crying angel
with eyes of heaven
may strike them
from my heart
so
until then
i shall suffer silently
in the bitter cold
until she returns
to warm my heart
again
