asleep I am

cold ice on my cheeks

twirling little snowflakes dancing

to the beat my heart once knew

the flowers for you

they withered in my hands

the poem I wrote

I kept it only for me

so many farewells

so many goodbyes

so many tears

of loss and hope

will I die now a lonely death

or will you remember me

will I die now a lonely death

or will you hold my hand

will I die now a lonely death

or will you stay with me

will I die now a lonely death

or will you die with me

will you remember

will you hold my hand

when I lay down on winter's earth

will you lay down with me
