Silver World
A white cloak wraps around me
I’m not cold, not on the outside
I pull it closer still
Maybe I can stop the cold
I see you walk away
It’s hard
I feel cold
I pull the cloak closer
Maybe I can be warm
My hand reaches out from the white cloak
Your figure fades
I feel ice covering me
Silver flakes fall down around me
Holding me in place
I remember your bright smile
I remember your kind words
I remember your vibrant laughter
I don’t think I’ll ever be warm again
I feel the ice slowing my heart
The white cloak slips from my shoulders
It falls silent in the silver landscape
I don’t want to lose you
Slowly I move forward
I begin to run
I feel the ice start to thaw
I see you turn around
I see your bright smile
My lips curve up
Maybe it had been me
Maybe I can be warm again
