Raw Soul
As the arctic air fills the atmosphere
Her sense of frigidness is crystal clear
Her heart frozen solid
Her emotions chilled to the bone
She questions her very existence
As she stares out the window in a time warp
Polar waves ripple through her mind
As winters' snow drifts to the ground
Her happy children are nowhere to be found
She astonishes at where in life she is
One last time, she looks up to the mystical starlit moon
One wish for her and one wish for them
She lives life embracing her every memory
Sharp is the sword that cut her dreams
Glassy crystal that shattered her world
Emotions of anger nip at her
Chipping away this raw soul one day at a time
