"Ice Queen"
rest quietly
in the meadows of my heart,
for in this battle
I've come to bleed for you my love
do not watch,
as my sword is quickened
by the heart that wields it
and it beats of mercy still
it was in a war for love,
were I found a man
still drawing pistols at dawn,
that was you
I came
as a winter's breath of ice,
when the dust of days
choked your throat
in the heat of the clash
then as scorching
heat I found you,
in cold nights as
a creeping freeze
wound its way up your legs,
I stared it back down
to cower at your feet
you fought for me
when the most loyal had left,
you would still bleed for me
I would only have to ask
But I have become night
with a black sightless stare,
I am whatever you make of me
look for a fearless face
as your vision
starts to blur and whorl,
look to the spark
as the blades flash
and ring?
it will be there
that you will find me,
as my time turns
its hands to conflict
rest in the silence of my love
lay down your sword the fight is over
and mine just begun
