Can't Go Any Further

I can hear your voice Tempting me to freeze My footsteps. Don’t rise near me, Thy forbidden voice: Its beauty; so real and luring. Please, the wind, Take her voice away So that my heart may rest. I can leave Soon…just one more step. I can see the ending. I’ll be free From the grasp I so loved. Release me, Release your clenching tears They slide down my face, too. How I wished To tell you What you meant to me. My world lured in your arms, Warming it As the sun. My feet struggle Through the snow As it deepens…away from your warmth. I call your name But I shut my mouth. The sun dims in the distance. The blizzard thickens. I am walking away, My feet as slow as vine growth. My screams echo off the clouds. I can’t go any further My heart is slowly deteriorating. My arms reach back To your presence, Caressing the last of your warmth. I can’t go any further. I can’t bear this pain. I need you by my side… My love, How can fate be so cruel?
