Creaking trees ice-laden
Limbs snapping, echoing
Eerie quiet unsettling
My heart shaking in the dark
I can feel your angry eyes
Staring at me from beyond
Your fingers digging into my flesh
A ghostly reminder of your touch
The burden that you laid upon me
Is here buried in the snow
Chilling my every thought
Freezing my very soul
Your screaming ricochets inside my head
Accompanied by an outdoor frozen concerto
Groves of heavy barren winter branches
Scratching their peculiar song into the wind
Each foot falls heavily, slowly following the other
Eyes bloodshot and lost in darkness
Memory chilling reality; melting as one
The crunch of snow adding to Nature’s chorus
Running from a guilt I can’t outrun
Emotions like fragile crystal about to shatter
I fall to my knees and wait for you
To exact revenge from the grave I put you in
That was quite a reminder ! Beautifully carved poem.

Another great poem/song that brought to mind another song I really like!
Here’s it’s lyrics –
“The Cold, The Dark & The Silence”
by Sea Wolf
Please don’t lie, don’t lie to me
that you’re not afraid, my love.
I know you well enough to know
you can’t be alone.
If you were to roll, to roll down your window
you’d find the wind, the ice, the trees
that sway like skeletons outside.
But when the cold, the dark, and the silence come
it’s like a sudden rush of water through your heart and lungs.
Please don’t fight, don’t fight with me
and fold your arms like it’s the end.
Can you smell the sweetness of the soil and snow in the wind?
So we’re lost, we’re lost out here on the plains, my love.
It’s only wind and ice and trees that wave from above.
But when the cold, the dark, and the silence come
it’s like a sudden rush of water through your heart and lungs.
When the cold, the dark, and the silence come
it’s like a sudden rush of water through your heart and lungs.
Don’t lie
Don’t cry
It’s over
It’s only the leaves, the trees
I’ll never leave you alone
In this car
In the dark, with the air getting so much colder.
It’s so clear outside here, in the moon and winter air.
But when the cold, the dark, and the silence come
it’s like a sudden rush of water through your heart and lungs.
When the cold, the dark, and the silence come
it’s like a sudden rush of water
it’s like a sudden rush of water
it’s like a sudden rush of water through your heart and lungs.
The cold, the dark and the silence.
The cold, the dark and the silence.
The cold, the dark and the silence.
The cold, the dark and the silence.
The cold, the dark and the silence.
The cold, the dark and the silence…
