Exchange

You are sitting on your icy floor

An empty vessel missing your substance

As if I put a crack in you

And your sacred spark is melting away.

The mysteries of your innocence

Fade like October flowers

Into cold winter nights.

But somehow you are more alive than before.

Your smile holds a deeper meaning now

As if this metamorphosis is blessed

In greater depth a greater life is found.

You have lost your past but claimed yourself

And given me this you in sacrifice

As I have given you my everything.
