I was alone
In a cold and lonely world of blood and scars and apathy and naïvet
And then I saw you
And I did not realize I was smiling
Like the child that I am
A perfect moment
Dancing in wonder of wintry magic
Ruined my red and an angry heart

"Everything you touch you destroy!"
Was he right, my love?
Is that truly all I am?
And now I am alone once more
In a blooming mansion of decay
This is the way it should be

But do you remember, my dearest?
You asked me to hold you
I told you, "I can't."
But to hold you was bliss, my golden angel
Your body against mine, oblivious to the danger
I could have stood there forever
Till we rusted and rotted into skeletal lovers
But it seems solitude is my fate

But you I shall treasure, you I shall honor
In glittering, shimmering statues of my unshed frozen tears
Pearly frigid memories of simple joys so long ago
My darling wintry angel,
Remember me in the snow.
