The rain still spills down my spine.

Ice still threads throughout my veins.

Fog blankets lustreless eyes

Goddess's black bird still guards me

Safety without the cage.

Those noises still echo in my ears,

The holly tree twines about me,

As words dribble off my listless skin.

Accept what you see,

Delve no more deeper

Simply leave it be.

And never know that, that rain is still dripping,

Trailing,

Down my spine.
