sacrifice of ice

living in a world of ice,

all things careful and beautiful
encase the sights beyond my eyes

carefully fractured and cursed
with a thousand images of one thing

I can see you in a thousand facets
reflected until I see only you

for this is my sacrifice

waiting until the time fades until
I can have the truth not the lies

of warm flesh, not imaginings first
and then the soul of the being

to learn of you until nothing's left
thats when for me, life begins anew.

Dedication /Inspiration:
... not sure. not a person, just a longing.

no specific person. just the way it is.
