An Eternal Internal Winter

A person who falls in love with a girl who can't seem to let go of her sadness. Help her and risk her "flying away" or leave her chained by the sadness as long as she stays?

I looked up to the graying sky

and down you fell.

One of Heaven's angels, 

I could tell.

The first snowflake had 

touched the ground,

and to the earth she touched

she became bound.

An eternal internal winter 

you grieve.

Is it selfish to say

I'm glad you can't leave?

The sun spun gold

and clouds painted skies.

Yet none could take the dullness

from your unseeing eyes.

The winter kept coming and

harsh winds would blow.

Dear Angel, what haunting

will you not let go?

An eternal internal winter 

you grieve.

Is it selfish to say

I'm glad you can't leave?

Time drips like golden honey

when I stand by your side.

Not even the once lightning Time

do you confide?

Earthbound Angel, 

it's much too cold to fly.

You won't let warmth in,

though you've forgotten why.

An eternal internal winter

you grieve.

Is it selfish to say

I'm glad you can't leave?

What I would give 

for our growing love to scar Time

and the sunrise of your smile

to block the sun at its prime.

A current internal winter 

you grieve.

Is it selfish to say

I won't ever leave?

Author's Note

Not one of my better works, but I'm still trying to continue despite the writer's block.
