• The ashes fell like snow beneath my feet
    There were embers everywhere; I felt no heat

    I knew the sky would soon fall far apart
    The shards would fly and pierce inside my heart
    But it never did, for I had known something false

    Frozen ice crept up around my feet
    The tempo of my heart slowed down a beat
    Blindness, like a never-ending night
    Thus ended my dependence on my sight

    And then when isolation wore away
    I thawed myself and lived another day
    The warmth outside was overwhelming first
    But quenched was my fatal, chronic thirst
    I never knew I had inside of me
