Summary: Not sure what I can say about this one... its a bit of a strange one, sort of based on snow angels that you see people in films making in the snow, that happiness compared to the tragedy of suicide.






It cracks and spills
All content gone,
There's nothing left
For anyone;
And if they see
The heart, once whole,
Split open there
To free a soul
That couldn't fly
Within the world,
But lies there now
Red wings unfurled,
Will they wonder
Who she is
And how she ever
Came to this?
