"Snowfall"

I stand in the midst of snowflakes
Gently floating and falling to the ground
Your distanced silhouette before me
Unchanging, still imprinted on my eyelids.
Cold breezes rustle the empty branches of nearby trees
Eddying at my feet, they draw the warmth from my body
My life blood red, scarlet tears, against the snow
White innocence.

Forgiveness does not come with winter's first snowfall
My pain will live on in spring's new flower blossoms
Hard ground against my knees as I surrender
Welcoming the cold comfort of fresh powder snow.
Sweet emptiness and numbness steals my entire body
Closing my eyes to see you before me once more
I lie, a fallen angel framed by garnet wings
Emptied heart.

I'm almost positive that I was inspired by L'Arc~en~Ciel's "Snowdrop" and "Winterfall"... I don't remember if it was the songs themselves or simply the titles, heh.

Reading this now I feel like I had a clear picture of this scene in my mind which I transferred very very poorly onto paper. :(
