The Blizzard

There is no light at the end of the tunnel,

There is no saving grace,

There is not a soul who could save me

From this dark cold lonely place.

I am no one worth crying for

So don't waste your time,

I am no one worth dying for

But for you, I'd stop my heart on a dime.

So I sit in this empty field

Watching you, and only you--

That heavenly smile on your face

As you laugh in that way you do.

I sit in this empty field

Knowing I'm as invisible as can be,

And knowing that an angel like you

Could never love someone like me.

How I long to be rid of the heartache and pain

Of knowing I don't stand a chance,

How I long to be out of your presence

Which puts me in such a trance.

Now snow is falling heavily,

A blizzard is coming, no doubt

With fresh, bleeding wounds on my arms

I uncaringly set out.

I don't know where I'm going

But it's so very far from there

And whether I die out here or not

I'm sure not a soul would care.

The pain is now unbearable

My body has now gone numb,

Tears staining my face I collapse,

Throat too sore to even hum.

I stare at the sky as I lie in the snow

Which has been tainted red with my blood,

My mind is filled with thoughts of you,

Tears flowing like a flood.

But footsteps draw me from these thoughts

And I turn my head to see

The object of my affection

Slowly making his way towards me.

He looks to the sky, then lies down

I'm shocked to see our fingers lace,

He then smiles that heavenly smile

And pulls me into a warm embrace.

His head resting on mine,

He softly speaks to me--

"If this is your decision,

Then we will go--in unity."

For a moment our lips meet,

But it ended all too soon,

And in the dead of night there echoed

The exchanging of these last words:

"I love you."
