A cold and somber night,
A moment's breath is held.
The words hang quietly,
Frozen in the air.
To instill fear,
Was never my intent.
To thaw from the ice,
That was my motive.
I'm just afraid,
That what I said,
Came out all wrong.
And I'm not sure what's right.
I ask for help to thaw.
But to kindle a flame,
That isn't mine,
Is selfish.
The air is still sheer,
The words are frigid.
It's been made clear,
And I don't mean to interfere.
I just need warmth.
The soul I used to know.
Maybe I do need help,
To unthaw.
But what would a fire want with ice?
Why do you linger?
Or is that I,
Drift towards it?
Please tell me to go,
If I am a nuisance.
I don't want to extinguish,
Your burning fire.
