The Sleeper In The Snow

I tore through heaven’s gates,

With blood on my lips,

Just to reach you

And still, you sleep,

Buried deep in the drifting snow.

I descended through the pit of hell,

To find a white flame’s glow

A fire fierce enough to break

The ice around your soul.

But even yearning couldn’t thaw

The silence where you dwell.

There are no doors in you,

Just chambers locked and sealed,

Cold winds that whisper nothing,

And truths you never yield.

My soul now hangs in shadowlands,

Between the world above and below

With trembling hands, I cast a song,

The last I’ll ever throw.

I became the villain in every sacred tale,

If it meant I could drag you back

From that frostbitten veil.

Now the birds forget my name,

The gods avert their eyes

And still, you sleep in snow,

Unchanged beneath my eyes.
