Winter Veil

For a girl of Winter 2012. My obsession with examining our dualistic and veiled mannerisms was a direct inspiration for this one.

In the winter snow

Accompanied by the night

Transcending the terms, conjuring a fantasy

Alone and unaware

Unable to breathe in

Lost to silence, contemplating the illusion

Release me from the façade

Of the dual-edged blade

Directing the tragedy unfolding

Before my eyes, staining these tears

Piercing a broken heart

Crying out for solace

Bleeding through the dreams, augmenting the pain

Forced to consume

Infernal ambrosia

Entreating shadows, oppressing memories

Liberate me from this disguise

Marring the light inside

Distilling every last remnant

Poisoning my purity, anaesthetizing the relief

Gone, I am

Lost, a dream

Forgot, my sight

Veiled, until my time has come…
