The Icy River

I remember that horrible night

Darkness over took my light.

Your words clouded my mind as you escorted me to the door

Your thunderous voice hurt me to the core.

I felt as though a raging wind was shattering my heart

My feelings, my love, my whole being was slowly coming apart.

The calm icy river was now becoming a flood

Your hatefulness chilled my warm blood.

So sudden the icy raging river arose

Somewhere in its shallows, lies a love that is froze.
