hanging there its waiting

each and every little part

dangling just on the edge

the avalanche in my heart

 

snow melted has frozen,

stones skitter on a rink,

quick to rip and tumble

before I can even think

 

waiting at a precipice

crawling ever nearer

my fate in your hands

kismet never clearer

 

further descent of snow

dead weight on icy rock

I can feel it coming yet

it will be a killing shock

 

creaks and groans alive

a monster taking flight

infidelity the final flake

on this frigid fatal night
