I can feel it deep in my bones,
the quivering soul of mine.

It isn't polar out here but winter was in my bones ever since–

An innate thing,
so bleak,
so cold,
so cruel to born like this.
I've felt summer, I've seen spring and I've tasted autumn like a solitary lover.

I've done it all, I've felt it all but
my blood still runs
so cold like the frozen
cerulean waters of an icy spring.

I've done it all,
I've seen it all,
but hoary winter has its way of claiming me as its own.
