the snow was cold but then

standing before a mirror My life lain threadbare 
by the reflection of a stranger I see there
 
who are you ? echo's off the bathroom walls 
reverberating the details of this day’s hell
 I am lost again in the dark.
like a small child lost in a park 
waiting for a savior
that never comes
 
the first cards ever dealt Me in this game
called life
were aces over eights
the dead man's hand as it's called
dealt by the cold hand of fate
love , lovers 
hate . hatred 
passion , passions
desire ,desires
fear , fears
dream , dreams
a multitude of emotions running unchained and rampant 
 
Is there anyone who has never given in to them?
is there someone who's ever made it out alive
with their sanity intact ?
 
well tomorrow will soon turn into yesterday 
an everything we see now will just fade away
like a forgotten yellowed photograph of two young lovers
tucked neatly with flowers of grey between the pages 
of some dusty old book 
left in a closet all but forgotten to time
 
as I look back at it all 
the snow was cold but then 
 
so was the rain
