My Nightmare In Winter (Mine Frozen Heart) Poem by Rr Smith

I once wrote a verse, not such a long time ago, before the pain, the loss and this snow...

The verse told of a love, I dreamt of so fair, she seemed like an angel with her soft raven hair...

My mind and it's pain, it made her depart, and here I lay grieving with an unthawing heart...

The moment she left, half my soul went away, I drove her away when I could have drove her to stay...

The feelings of guilt will stay with my soul, but without her love I am forever unwhole...

She was the biggest piece of this unfinished life, instead of pushing away we could have made this a life...

This dream that I had was a real one you see, the dream that was crushed by none other than me...

I promised her everything and I never did bring, I promised her forever, but the raven doth sing...

I wanted nothing more than to bring her to me, then I locked up my heart and discarded the key...

The real key to my heart was with her all along, she held it inside her in the form of a song...

A song never heard by any but me, a song heard too late, 'twas a song about me...

A song all about her love and compassion, a song never heard, a song everlasting...

She tried to no end to understand I, the man she had loved, then she kissed me goodbye...

Her hair is now faded to a deep shade of brown, reflecting her pain, accenting her frown...

The girl in my dream which I always did love, with the heart of an angel, sent from above...

The girl in my dream shall not fade away, with hopes that I may get to hold her someday...

The man who dreamt in Autumn is the same man, you see? only now I am lost, so blind I can't see...

If the man who had dreamt on that late Autumn night, could do things again...I would do them all right.
