The Cold of Winter

The snow slowly falls

Outside my window

As icy and cold

As your heart

I smile

You frown

I laugh

You scowl

I live

And you act as if you're dead inside

As much as you try to hide it

I see pain

In those cold

Emotionless eyes

You act like it can't be helped

But it can

As the warm sun

Melts the ice of winter

Maybe

Someday

I can melt

The ice of your heart

And reveal the warm, kind soul

You've secretly wished to release . . .

A.N. Since we had a huge snowstorm a few days ago here in Wisconsin, I thought it only fitting to post this one. Besides, I've yet to do anything Sesshomaru-centric, much less Rin-centric. Anyway, review or I'll send rabid raccoons to break your legs.
