Thaw

Thaw

Sharp and bitter is the pain
No salve to dull the edge
The anguish of a scarlet stain
A thought to leap the ledge

Sharp and bitter is the pain
No wall too rough to strike
A replay that’ll never end
No solitude in sight

Sharp and bitter is the pain
No words to spare the grief
A lifeless harvest in the rain
A bloom not barely brief

Sharp and bitter is the pain
A thaw to melt the chill
Like ice transforms to water
In time all wounds will heal
