She fluttered like snow above my head
Without gravity tethered to her wings
Hearts weathered and worn she flew through the yard
Abandoned winter coats left beside the door
For they would only weigh us down
With words in my mouth that froze to my tongue
And our icicle dreams clung to barren trees
Naked and stripped of all dignity
Towering branches we had failed to climb again
Aspiring still to overcome
The heights from which we fell
Frosty panes of glass sheltered us from the frigid dawn
If only our desire was enough
Eloquent goodbyes that fell on deaf ears
And her frostbitten nose pressed against my skin
She lingered there I felt her hesitate
We wrapped ourselves in the arms of forgiveness too
shivering in the glistening silence
Desire itself is not enough
Frosty panes of glass sheltered us from the frigid dawn
If only our desire was enough
