Winter's Domain
Like a thorn in a sky full of starlight
Ominous as a cloud full of rain
Twilight may never consume me
Though I rumble and bellow in pain
You cleaved my enclosure with kindness
Forsaking the whiffs of my snow
Lacking compassion I thundered
With the violence I've known
Pure as the deeds of your presence
Like the mornings who dwell in their hope
You gave when all in my pleasure
Took it all in my self-serving scope
All the while the wounds I inflicted
Bore themselves in my mind
While you where off in your intrigues
As I grew more un-confined
Within the void I created
To shun the light of your day
I cursed you for all my mis-leadings
Knowing I was the one whom betrayed
The bond that in the beginning
Drew me to your warm flame
Yet in time I grew in my Winter
Where the hoarfrost calls its domain
