    Darkly dreaming I dare not wake


    Lest softly creeping night shall takeThis book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.


    With gentle touch, everything I shall ever love.


    In my mind, in my heart, an icy touch.


    Myself apart, watching in the backseat


    As I drift through life.


    Aloof, apart, detached to still my heart


    For if it suffers but a single beat


    Then shall my grief consume


    Dream and hopes and possibilities.


    Mayhaps the winter’s bite inside


    Protects me from the cold cruel world.
