The wind whirled
As wet flakes covered lips
A body in pieces
The white earth no longer
innocent,
Candy canes drawn with artful
eyes,
Sin glances bitterly
She knows loss
She knows regret
She knows nothing at all
Her soul now washed
Each guilty word now a dot of
blood,
They dance in hell's warm
hands,
I watched her drop
My destroyed memories
Float among the clouds
I took one step
Just one step
My foot now covered in blood
You have been shunned
Her last battle cry
The cry of defeat
Sin is not me
She was a protection
A darkness that held true
I kiss her wet lips
Tears gently falling
The first winter snow
Washed my soul
Washed my soul
Washed my soul
Sin now cleansed
She is but a distance memory
Among bloody candy canes
Always forgotten
But never gone
Never truly gone
