Summer before the frost

The crashing of the waves

Our calming gaze

The home lost in a summer's haze

While the eternal heat faded

To be replaced by a burning winter's rage

A bitter sweet taste remains

Yet all is still the same

A faded memory of the glory days

When the sun would keep our troubles at bay

I fear that in our summer haze

You've forgot what's at stake

With every touch

With every kiss

My life began to fade

As your passion blazed

My fragile mind began to cave

Your greed

Your lust

Your selfish ways

Have awoken me

To bitter cold of winter's

Whitest snow

Pure and untainted.

Violent and deadly.

Beautiful and majestic.

Gruel and unyielding.

Your love is all consuming

Like the bitter frost led by

The ice inside your soul.

I lay a slave to your touch

And a prisoner to your unloving heart.
