Seven Seconds

Her words wax and wane,
On vicious moon.
Her verse pulled from,
Torn from, another time soon.

A promise she makes,
No not like before, no,
By snow-drifted, moonlifted,
Mountain-side, so,

She plays with snowflakes,
Imagines they cut into skin,
Gazing at endless sky,
Its the only place she's ever been.

Her promises to him broken -
In seven seconds.
