Frozen Poem by Terry Biscamp

His heart breaks,
For the girl he loved so true.
His eyes search her face,
For the one that he once knew.
Her empty eyes so red..
Can only stare back.
He turns away from her,
Waiting for the attack.
He's been on this long ride,
He's been her leaning post.
Now he's given up trying,
All he's left with is a ghost.
Everything they had..
The trust, the love and dreams..
Are all gone and shattered.
In his head she screams.
The alcohol and drugs,
Is what she has chosen.
He can't ride this road anymore,
His heart has become frozen.
He'll take that exit now..
That he passed so many times.
He tried to save her from it all,
But higher in she climbs.
She's let it lead her life,
She's turned from his helping hand.
There's nothing left for him to do,
She won't leave her quicksand.
All the years of trying,
His love she turned away.
His heart is left dying..
There's nothing more to say.
The lady that he loved so much,
Is no longer there.
He'll never be able to reach her..
Proof is in her empty stare.
