Drowning

I ventured through, the woodland deep
Frozen teardrops, from my eyes to weep
Searching for, a long lost love
As snowdrops fell, from the sky above

Just over the horizon, stood a cave
Where true love lay, that never gave
It's secrets lay hidden, from long ago
Still lay lost, in the deep white snow

I entered the cave, my heart was mad
And found the frozen snow heart, sad
Treading upon, the icy felt
As my hopes began, to slowly melt

So i tried so hard, not to yield
My hopes were thwarted, as my eyes were filled
Restoring the cold heart, back to life
The teardrops melted, in this stone-cold hive

I left the snow-cave, cold, and bereft
It had stolen my heart, as i left
As the sun slowly melted, my dreamy dreams
Lost love drowned, in flooding streams
