When the chaos crumbled into calm,
I grabbed her arm in the cold mist.
Sweat dripping from my palm,
And the cries of the night were silenced.

"This isn't fair, this isn't right!"
I screamed as my clutch got tighter.
"I thought we agreed on this. Why do you fight?"
She replied as the tears in her eyes grew brighter.

The lamppost light shimmered in an unusual fashion,
As it's rays focused on her beauty.
My soul was suddenly overcome with passion,
But perhaps this separation was my duty.

I then realized what I had just lost,
While my hands bled from the shards of my shattered heart.
And now I stand here alone in the frost,
Understanding for certain that we are apart.
