winter’s illusion

by khadjahelaine

You hear the joy in her laugh

Not recognizing the pain in her eyes

You feel the warmth in her touch

Not knowing that’s all she has to give

Winter to winter

She’s falling away

Every night she slips

Catch her before it gets too late

Catch her before she trips

One day she’ll be too far

Every minute counts

Time and life 

Both sweet illusion 

 Eternity is the promise of none
