FROZEN SUNRISE

FROZEN SUNRISE

As he looks up through the wind blown snow
It blinds him and stings as he makes his way
He's driven by the love for someone who doesn't know
That she is the one that makes him wake up each day
He's a fool, he knows no one could like someone like him
A broken human who only gets comfort from steel
But when he sees her it awakens something within
And makes his cold heart a warmth that he feels
He's almost happy when she is in his presence
An emotion he has never even felt before
The light of the universe must be in her essence
As the sun rises, like a giant red dragon's eye
It doesn't bring warmth but the forest seems to glow
He's embraced by the cold as the forest sighs
The ancient forests that still live with the magic of old
The wind resists him but he will not give up
He must make it through to see her once again
His bones shudder with each strong gust
But he will be at the small village by day's end
The numbness and the pain will be all be worth it all
To hear once again hear her sweet voice and laugh
His heart skips a beat every time he hears his name called
She makes him forget the vow he said in the past
To never again open his world and to be alone forever
To never again feel the pain and sting of rejection
To think that true love is a hopeless endeavor
Slowly that wall of steel is peeled away and he drops his protection
He hope that this is for real this time
As he walks in the frozen sunrise
Hopefully she's not playing with his mind
As he takes his way through the frozen sunrise
