New Song

It's freezing
This frosted, corrupt slush I lay on
As this gash seeps my remaining life out
Drip, drip, drip
My essence weeps

I hear a whisper
I strain to hear
It's not your melody
It's the earth's shrieks of misery

I am awakened
Dazed, pained, fazed
I hear a song
A familiar one
But not yours

It wraps me
Worried, shaky, attentive
Draining the fear from me
Like your tune always did

This warmth
It's not yours chorus
It's not my poem
It's a new ditty

This is a carol
Which comes from the heart
Humming for me
As I purr back
So it's not lonely
Like my old duet
