Daryl Hennix - Since you left

My Life this winter
has been more still then the lake
that teases me with its ability
to grant other forms of life with sanity
but no, none for me

no gentle touch
or ocean spray
that I miss so much
since you've gone your way
this winter cold nips at my extremities
and caused the ocean surface to freeze

my solitary heart is unable to
sustain the love we built
the life we made
the love we slaved
couldn't prevent the roof from the cave

Jack Frost has trapped Father Time
granted my heart eternal winter
forcing upon me a life not my own
a home thats not our home

The snow blankets my sight
steals from me the mysteries of star light
friends telling me its alright
still I drowned in an ocean of my own tears
night after night

Life is just not worth living
when winter is all you know
and all you know, is that I need you to show
me a glimmer of what life was
before you let go

this block of ice that I call my heart is all I have
set adrift on oceans path
no life for me will ever be the same
my purgatory endless winter forever pain
