these breaths i will take
in spite of the reds and blues
and violets of these bruises
just to say the words
I love --
oh it is snowing;
maybe the chill
took my voice
but left a final
shiver along my
lips oh so cold;
a whisper into
an endless winter
that i'm fighting
inside of me
i love you
but i am
fading
with
the
ice
