Cold... cold heart...

You took the stars from the sky and went away with them
leaving just the darkness behind
and me... alone and lonely, surrounded by the long shadows

Even... Heaven in tears grieves its losses upon my shoulders
Yet... I can not...
my mouth and eyes are dry... I can not scream or cry

Let so be it... the sky will weep my sorrows as its own
in grander gestures than just... me
First a river... then a sea of white shores of salt and tears

"Cold... cold heart -  
says the non stopping rain, incessantly
dropping, so heavily

The sun comes up regardlessly
all its pain, cruising the horizon until the end
the rain keeps ever falling

Over my body - my clothes and skin freezing
and my dormant soul locked in time
refusing to wake

"Cold... cold heart -
says she, comely,
relentlessly

As darkness weaves threads and incantations
a voice distant calling far beyond the water falling
my name... spelled in the rain

"Cold... cold heart -
come and join me
I am dust but also the stars
